TAIPEI -- Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang has warned that China will cultivate its own chip companies in response to tensions with the U.S. and that existing chip players will have to work hard to stay competitive.

"Whatever the regulations are ... of course we will absolutely comply, but I think China will use the opportunity to foster their local entrepreneurs, and that's why there's so many GPU startups in China," Huang told a global media roundtable at the Computex Taipei industry expo on Tuesday.
