Asian governments respond to Jensen Huang's exit from Nvidia

Governments across Asia have responded to Jensen Huang's departure as Nvidia chief executive, TechCrunch reports, with some confirming chip supply commitments and others monitoring local projects or addressing investigations.

South Korea's Science Ministry said Nvidia had reaffirmed its plan to supply 260,000 advanced GPUs to the country and continue joint AI projects. In Taiwan, Economy Minister Kung Ming-shin said the departure was unlikely to significantly change the growth of the global AI industry, and Taipei's city government said Nvidia's planned overseas headquarters there remained on track. Japan's Industry Ministry said it would closely monitor Nvidia, according to Reuters.

China's foreign ministry rejected on November 10 allegations that a Chinese businesswoman linked to Huang was a spy, calling them groundless. Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs said police had seized Alice Huang's passport in June 2025 in an investigation into possible false declarations about server purchases, found insufficient evidence of offences in February 2026, but warned her for knowingly giving inaccurate information about her role at Megaspeed and barred her from re-entering Singapore. Huang's exit has also raised uncertainty over more than billion in Chinese AI computing projects that rely on restricted Nvidia processors, according to a Reuters review cited by TechCrunch.
