Summary of article:
The report pointed out that the contradiction between Trump’s tough comments on China and his close talks with Huawei CEO Huang Renxun also allowed China to influence US chip policy and use it to gauge Washington’s intentions.
The Washington Post reported on the 11th,trump Since taking office for the second time, the President has warned against Beijing’s technological ambitions and has repeatedly said that the United States cannot lose to China in the artificial intelligence (AI) competition. However, Trump has close ties to senior executives of technology companies, has approved the sale of advanced technologies to China, and hopes to maintain good relations with Chinese leader Xi Jinping; CEO of Nvidia (Huida, also translated as Nvidia)Jen-Hsun Huang (Jensen Huang) Affair Womandetective The scandal is becoming more intense, highlighting the main contradictions in Trump’s policies when facing China, the United States’ main military and economic rival.
The report pointed out that when the United States received information that Huang Renxun was listed as a target by Chinese intelligence agencies, Trump took almost no action. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Huang that the person he was having an extramarital affair with was a Chinese female spy, but Trump still invited Huang to visit him in Beijing in May this year.
Trump subsequently distanced himself from Huang, continuing to speak regularly on the phone and frequently attending public events together. When Xi Jinping visited the United States in September this year, he received a state banquet from Trump, at which Huang and his wife sat at the head table.
Few senior corporate executives have as much influence on Trump’s China policy as Jen-Hsun Huang. Through Huang Renxun’s successful lobbying, Huida sold chip computing power into the lucrative Chinese market.
Huang Renxun has become a frequent visitor to Trump’s social circle, but China’s supporters within the Trump administration have a different opinion.
Victor Shih, a historian of Chinese politics at the University of California, San Diego, said that for other presidents, there may have been some harsh reactions after similar scandals. “But I think Trump’s attitude toward these things is that he’s using these tactics against us, and we’re also using them against him. Is that any surprise?”
Xi Zonghan pointed out that in Trump’s eyes the results of the two “Trump-Xi meetings” are unlikely to be undermined.
Craig Singleton, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a nonpartisan think tank, said Huang’s close relationship with Trump is one reason Huang is considered a highly valuable target by China.
Singleton said this type of interaction is a two-way street. Because Huang Renxun has established a trusted relationship with Trump, Beijing can influence US decision-making on chip control and also understand Washington’s plans and intentions towards Beijing.
Democrats criticized Trump for not taking action after learning that Huang had become an intelligence target by China.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a speech on the 10th that Trump has neglected his duties. “They must defend the United States, not China or friends.”
Schumer said: “Trump is busy defending Huang, but he must protect our national security. The reason is simple and clear.”
