From border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia to China’s mega dam construction, here are highlights from SCMP’s recent reporting.

Wearing his iconic leather jacket, Huang walked into the sunny courtyard of the Mandarin Oriental hotel earlier than scheduled and took multiple questions.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is no stranger to Beijing, but his most recent visit, his third to China this year, cemented his rock star status in the country, where fans mingled freely with the AI titan on the streets of the capital.

President Donald Trump said he considered attempting to break up Nvidia Corp. to increase competition in artificial intelligence chips before finding out “it’s not easy in that business.”

Despite stumbling slightly, Jensen Huang began his speech in Mandarin and said, 'I am very happy to be here'. His easy-going charm and approachable demeanor deeply resonated with Chinese fans.

An estimated 650 companies from 60 countries have gathered at the China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing.

Jensen Huang, the chipmaker’s chief executive, is trying to balance his company’s interests as the United States and China compete for supremacy in artificial intelligence.

Why It Matters: Huang’s trip came as Nvidia resumed sales of its advanced H20 AI chips to China, after a temporary U.S. ban was reversed. The H20 is a less advanced and specially designed chip to comply with U.S. export rules that limit certain technologies from being sent to China.

Jensen Huang extolled China’s technological advances and said President Trump wouldn’t mind his meetings in Beijing.

Behind closed doors with Trump. Center stage in Beijing. Nvidia (NVDA) just pulled off the tech pivot of the year.

For the US, Nvidia’s continued presence in China may serve as a strategic lever to maintain its dominance in AI. Experts told CNBC that keeping Chinese firms reliant on US-designed chips and software, especially Nvidia’s widely used CUDA platform, helps cement America’s global leadership.
