Jensen Huang is ‘DEAD WRONG’ about this: Rep Brian Mast

>> Martha: THIS IS A BIG SCORE, CEO OF NVIDIA, WHOSE CHIPS ARE. CRUCIAL IN THE RACE FOR CHINA IS. SUSPECTED OF HAVING AN AFFAIR. WITH A WOMAN IN CHINA. IDENTIFYING HER AS ALICE WANG, AN EXECUTIVE AT DATA CENTER. COMPANY BASED IN SINGAPORE. "NEW YORK TIMES" BROKE THIS. STORY WEEKS AGO.

NVIDIA SAYS IT'S VETTING WHETHER. THEIR CEO WAS "THE TARGET OF A. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EFFORT.". LET'S BRING IN THE HOUSE FOREIGN. AFFAIRS COMMITTEE E CHAIRMAN. FLORIDA REPUBLICAN BRIAN --. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, REPRESENTATIVE FOR BEING HERE. TODAY. THIS IS A STUNNING STORY. THIS IS NOT JUST AN AFFAIR. ALL INTERTWINED WITH THE AI RACE. BETWEEN CHINA, WHICH HAS BY SOME. REPORTS DOUBLED THEIR. INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS AROUND. THE WORLD, AND THE UNITED.

STATES, WHO ARE VYING FOR. DOMINANCE IN THIS MARKET. WHAT IS YOUR REACTION? >> REACTION IS, ANYBODY WOULD BE. NAIVE TO THINK CHINA ISN'T. POURING BILLIONS INTO TRYING TO. GET THEIR HANDS ON THE BEST. CHIPS AROUND THE GLOBE. THOSE ARE AMERICAN NVIDIA CHIPS. THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL THEM. AND GET THE MACHINES THAT MAKE. THEM AND TRYING TO ACCESS THEM. REMOTELY ANY WAY THEY CAN. TRUMP GAVE US THE MARCHING. ORDERS. DO HIS AI ACTION PLAN WHICH. MEANS NO CHINESE MILITARY END. USERS. NO REMOTE ACCESS.

MAKE SURE THEY CAN'T BUY THE. EQUIPMENT THAT MAKES THEM. >> Martha: WE KNOW JASON HAS. TRIED TO ENCOURAGE PRESIDENT. TRUMP TO LOOSEN UP THE GUARD. RAILS, TO LET CHINA RECEIVE MORE. OF OUR CHIPS EVEN HIRE. SOPHISTICATED CHIPS AND WE KNOW. THAT SECRETARY OF STATE RUBIO. WARNED ABOUT THIS MONTHS AGO. WANG WAS NOT BROUGHT ON THE CHIP. TO CHINA BUT THEN HE GOT ON THE. PLANE AT THE LAST MINUTE IN. ALASKA. A QUICK THOUGHT ON THAT. REPRESENTATIVE MAST? >> THESE ARE THE COMPLETING.

VOICES. IF NVIDIA SELLS EVERY LAST CHIP. TO CHINA AMERICA IS BETTER OFF. BECAUSE CHINA WON'T MAKE THEIR. OWN. I THINK HE'S DEAD WRONG. HE DOESN'T SEE IF CHINA BUYS ALL. THE CHIPS THEY WANT THEN THEY. HAVE EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED. TO DISTILL OUR MODELS TO HACK. OUR SYSTEMS, TO DEVELOP THEIR. OWN AI. IF CHINA GETS AMERICAN CHIPS. AMERICA LOSES. RUBIO SESEES THAT JENSEN DOESN'. >> Martha: REPRESENTATIVE MAST, SORRY TO CUT Y.
