CNBC AI News, July 16 – Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made a notable sartorial shift today at the opening of the Chain Expo in Beijing, ditching his signature leather jacket for a traditional dark-colored Tang suit, according to reports from local media.
The move is being widely interpreted as a gesture of respect for Chinese culture and a strong signal of Nvidia’s commitment to the critical Chinese market. The fashion choice comes after Huang was photographed in Beijing wearing his trademark leather jacket, even in sweltering 35°C (95°F) heat, alongside Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun. At the time, Huang quipped that it was his only option as his “only suit hadn’t been dry-cleaned.”
Huang joked, “Because my suit didn’t have time to be dry-cleaned, I only have one suit, and it’s kind of worn out. I hope my leather jacket looks okay.”
The third China International Supply Chain Expo is officially opening its doors in Beijing today, and Huang is in China specifically to attend the event.
This marks Nvidia’s debut appearance at the Chain Expo. Huang is scheduled to deliver a keynote address at the opening ceremony, which will include his first-ever public speech in Mandarin Chinese. He admitted to feeling “excited” and “a little nervous,” saying he needed to return to his hotel to practice his Mandarin.
The appearance and Mandarin pledge coincide with Huang’s recent announcement that the U.S. government has authorized the export of the H20 chip to China, paving the way for Nvidia to resume sales in the region.
