NVIDIA's intrepid CEO, Jensen Huang, has spent a fair chunk of January travelling around China—news outlets believe that Team Green's leader has conducted business meetings with very important clients in the region. Insiders proposed that his low-profile business trip included visits to NVIDIA operations in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing. The latest updates allege that a stopover in Taiwan was also planned, following the conclusion of Mainland activities. Photos from an NVIDIA Chinese new year celebratory event have been spreading across the internet lately—many were surprised to see Huang appear on-stage in Shanghai and quickly dispense with his trademark black leather jacket. He swapped into a colorful "Year of the Wood Dragon" sleeveless shirt for a traditional dance routine.

It was not all fun and games during Huang's first trip to China in four years—inside sources have informed the Wall Street Journey about growing unrest within the nation's top ranked Cloud AI tech firms. Anonymous informants allege that leadership, at Alibaba Group and Tencent, are not happy with NVIDIA's selection of compromised enterprise GPUs—it is posited that NVIDIA's President has spent time convincing key clients to not adopt natively-developed solutions (unaffected by US Sanctions). The short hop over to Taiwan is reported not to be for R&R purposes—insiders had Huang's visiting key supply partners; TSMC and Wistron. Industry experts think that these meetings are linked to NVIDIA's upcoming "Blackwell" B100 AI GPU, and "supercharged" H200 "Hopper" accelerator. It is too early for the rumor mill to start speculation about nerfed versions of NVIDIA's 2024 enterprise products reaching Chinese shores, but Jensen Huang is seemingly ready to hold diplomatic talks with all sides.

Taiwan's External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) has announced the keynote speaker for Computex 2023 - NVIDIA co-founder and current CEO Jensen Huang is confirmed as the main host of the opening ceremony event. The forthcoming computer trade show will have a general opening on May 30, with a keynote address delivered by Huang scheduled for the day before. Computex 2023 is set to be hosted at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (Hall 1 & Hall 2) until June. Co-organizer TAITRA boasts that 1000 exhibitors (from 17 nations) will participate in show floor activities. 3000 individual booths will be setup for exploration by prospective attendees.

Huang is one of several key electronics company CEOs announced as participants in conference events. He joins key representatives from firms such as Qualcomm, Acer, NXP Semiconductors and Supermicro. NVIDIA's leader was named in Time's 100 List of Most Influential People for the year 2021, and is a winner of numerous other awards, so it is no wonder that he gets top billing at Computex 2023. Attendees have a lot to look forward to, not limited to a (potentially) dynamic keynote speech delivered by Huang, since this year's show will be an open door affair. A return to proceedings last experienced in 2019, prior to global shutdowns.
