The Secretive Chinese Chip Giant That Could Be Nvidia's Biggest Threat
BloombergMonday, June 23, 2025 at 8:00:37 AM
Huawei, often seen as a telecom giant, has quietly built up its chip division to become a serious competitor to Nvidia in the AI and semiconductor space. While it operates under the radar due to U.S. sanctions, its advancements—like the Ascend AI chips—could reshape the global tech power balance. This isn’t just about hardware; it’s about China’s push for self-reliance in critical tech.
Editor’s Note: The U.S. has long dominated cutting-edge chip design, but Huawei’s rise shows China isn’t backing down—it’s finding workarounds. If their chips keep improving, it could disrupt Nvidia’s stronghold and force a rethink of global supply chains. For consumers, more competition might mean better tech, but for policymakers, it’s another front in the tech cold war.
