Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng met with President and CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang in Beijing on Thursday.
He, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that the Chinese market has huge investment and consumption potential, and the industrial transformation and upgrading are accelerating.
The Chinese market is the best application scenario for the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and has always been a fertile ground for foreign-funded enterprises to invest and trade, He noted.
China welcomes more U.S.-funded enterprises, including Nvidia, to deeply cultivate the Chinese market and fully demonstrate their industrial advantages and capabilities in China, thereby gaining the upper hand in global competition, He said.
Huang expressed optimism about the economic prospects of China and the willingness to continue to deepen presence in the Chinese market and play an active role in promoting economic and trade cooperation between the United States and China.

The death toll from a landfill collapse in the central Philippine city of Cebu has risen to eight by Monday morning as search and rescue operations continued for another 28 missing people.
The landfill collapse occurred on Thursday as dozens of sanitation workers were working at the site. The disaster has already caused injuries of 18 people.
Family members of the missing people said the rescue progress is slow, and the hope for the survival of their loved ones is fading.
"For me, maybe I’ve accepted the worst result already because the garbage is poisonous and yesterday, it was raining very hard the whole day. Maybe they’ve been poisoned. For us, alive or dead, I hope we can get their bodies out of the garbage rubble," said Maria Kareen Rubin, a family member of a victim.
Families have set up camps on high ground near the landfill, awaiting news of their relatives. Some people at the site said cries for help could still be heard hours after the landfill collapsed, but these voices gradually faded away.
Bienvenido Ranido, who lost his wife in the disaster, said he can't believe all that happened.
"After they gave my wife oxygen, my kids and I were expecting that she would be saved that night because she was still alive. But the night came and till the next morning, they didn't manage to save her," he said.
