Jensen Huang, chief executive officer of U.S. semiconductor company Nvidia, has hailed China's supply chain as a "miracle," highlighting that interdependence among countries gives more resilience to the world.
Huang was in Beijing to attend the third China International Supply Chain Expo held from July 16 to 20.
Huang described China's supply chain as unparalleled in its scale, complexity, and diversity in an interview with the China Central Television (CCTV) on Wednesday following his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the supply chain-themed expo.
"China operates one of the world's largest supply chains. Scale, complexity, diversity, the type of products that are manufactured, the technologies that are included, the number of companies that participate in building out the China supply chain is unquestionably one of the world's great miracles," he said.
He underscored the critical role of China's supply chain in global manufacturing and technology.
"China also builds equipment and control systems and components for the rest of the world's supply chain. And so not only does China operate one, it creates technology and products to operate other people's supply chains. And because the world's supply chains are becoming more diversified and, if you will, more redundant, it creates an enormous opportunity for China actually to export your supply chain, manufacturing technology all over the world, as supply chains are being and manufacturing lines are being created around the world," Huang said.
He dismissed the idea of a complete decoupling of global supply chains as unrealistic, saying that interconnectivity is a necessary and beneficial feature of modern supply chains.
"There is no way at this point, with so much complexity in so many different industries, to imagine a world where the supply chain isn't interconnected and interdependent. So that interdependency is a necessary condition. It's a good condition. It gives us resilience. Although we don't manufacture much in China, we have many customers and partners and technology partners that we serve in China's supply chain," Huang added.

A former television host from Taiwan, Zhai Xuan, has made a pivotal decision to leave mainstream broadcasting in order to create content that provides a better understanding of the Chinese mainland and cross-strait relations.
Zhai, a seasoned television host with over a decade of experience in Taiwan's media landscape, recently addressed an audience at an event in Beijing, where she revealed her complete transition into independent online media.
In her remarks, she articulated her aspiration to bridge what she perceives as a significant information gap between audiences on both sides of the Strait, highlighting her commitment to fostering a deeper understanding and connection through her new endeavors.
"I was really surprised by all the fake news. There were stories saying people on the mainland can't afford tea eggs or that they live in mud houses and in Taiwan, this was the main information many people received," said Zhai.
Zhai said she initially began producing online videos to challenge such perceptions while continuing her work as a television host.
In April 2025, she travelled to the mainland with her father to fulfill her late grandfather's wish to return to his hometown. The trip, which reunited family members separated since 1949, was recorded in a video series titled "Journey to Find Our Roots", drawing attention from viewers in both Taiwan and the mainland.
"Many people in Taiwan told me that after watching, they wanted to apply for a mainland travel permit immediately and go looking for their relatives. Some had long forgotten these things, but after seeing my story, they began thinking about their hometowns and family members they had never met and decided to search for their roots," Zhai shared her story at the event.
By mid-2025, Zhai said she began to feel increasing pressure amid rising political tensions and a tightening atmosphere around cross-Strait exchanges in Taiwan.
After more than 12 years in the industry, Zhai resigned from her position, believing it was the right thing to do.
"At that moment, I felt this was a major issue，not just for me, but for Chinese people on both sides of the Strait. If I backed down then, I wouldn’t be standing on the right side," said Zhai.
Since leaving television, Zhai has broadened her online programming to encompass a range of daily-life topics, including practical guidance on applying for a mainland travel permit and using commonly employed mobile applications, in addition to content that delves into historical memory and cultural connections across the Strait.
As the debate over cross-Strait relations continues in Taiwan, Zhai said she remains committed to her current path.
