Story summary

As of November 14, 2026, Jonathan Eyal wrote in The Straits Times that the departure of Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, does not halt the company's operations or its status as a key player in the global semiconductor industry. However, Huang's unique business skills and political connections are irreplaceable. Huang was notable for his ability to meet with high-level government officials, such as boarding Air Force One during a refueling stop in Alaska to attend a US presidential summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and for his fluency in Mandarin, which he used to brief people in Beijing. This departure raises questions about who will fill Huang's unique role in the company's future dealings and strategic positioning.
