黄仁勋突然辞职震惊了部分英伟达中国员工，并引发了关于这家美国芯片制造商未来在中国业务前景的疑问，据公司消息人士透露，其联合创始人曾花费多年时间耕耘这一市场。
Jensen Huang’s abrupt resignation stunned some Nvidia staff in China and raised questions about the future of the US chipmaker’s operations in a market its co-founder had spent years cultivating, according to company sources.
“这标志着一个时代的结束。我真的不明白为什么要求黄仁勋辞职——他辞职谁也得不到好处，”一名不愿透露姓名的英伟达中国员工表示，因为他们未获授权接受媒体采访。
“It’s the end of an era. I really don’t understand why Huang was asked to resign – no one benefits from him stepping down,” one Nvidia employee in China said, declining to be named as they were not authorised to speak to the media.
第二名员工表示，同事们敬仰黄仁勋，他特意来中国参加公司的春节聚会并花时间陪伴员工。这名同样不愿透露姓名的员工说，很“难以想象”还有别的老板会付出这种努力，黄仁勋在中方员工中“极受欢迎”。
A second employee said colleagues looked up to Huang, who made a point of coming to China for the company’s Chinese New Year parties and spending time with staff. It was “hard to imagine” another boss making that kind of effort and Huang was “extremely popular” among Chinese staff, the second employee said, also declining to be named.
2024年一次员工聚会上，黄仁勋身穿花背心，与员工一起跳起了中国北方民间舞蹈。次年1月在深圳，他发放了现金奖金高达4万元人民币（约合5996美元）的红包。
At a staff party in 2024, Huang put on a floral vest and joined employees in a northern Chinese folk dance. In Shenzhen the following January, he handed out red envelopes with cash prizes of up to 40,000 yuan (US$5,996).
今年1月，他造访了英伟达位于张江的新上海办公室，分发了在当地市场买来的橘子，员工们争相索要签名。随后他前往北京和深圳参加春节庆祝活动。
This January, he visited Nvidia’s new Shanghai office in Zhangjiang and handed out tangerines he had bought at a local market as staff rushed to get his autograph. He went on to attend Chinese New Year celebrations in Beijing and Shenzhen.
英伟达中国员工普遍认为，美国的政治压力最终迫使黄仁勋离职，他们担心他的离开会让美中科技公司的合作变得更加困难。
There is widespread belief among Nvidia’s Chinese employees that political pressure in the US ultimately pushed Huang out, and they worry that his departure will make it harder for American and Chinese tech companies to work together.
英伟达周四宣布，黄仁勋已辞去总裁、首席执行官及董事会成员职务，结束了其33年的掌舵生涯。首席财务官科莱特·克雷斯接任临时首席执行官。
Nvidia announced on Thursday that Huang had resigned as president, chief executive and a board member, ending 33 years at the helm. Chief financial officer Colette Kress took over as interim CEO.
此前，《纽约时报》周三报道称，黄仁勋与英伟达医疗保健副总裁金伯利·鲍威尔有过第二次婚外情。
The announcement came after The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Huang had engaged in a second affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice-president of healthcare.
黄仁勋周末已承认与另一名女性有染，据报道对象为女商人黄爱丽丝，美国官员怀疑她是中国特工——北京方面已多次否认这一指控。
Huang had already admitted to another affair over the weekend, reportedly with the businesswoman Alice Huang, whom US officials suspect of being a Chinese operative – an allegation that Beijing has repeatedly denied.
英伟达在中国大陆雇用近4000名员工，黄仁勋曾表示，中国大陆是该公司全球员工流失率最低的地区。英伟达在北京、广州、上海和深圳设有大陆办事处。
Nvidia employs nearly 4,000 people in mainland China, and Huang has said that the country had the company’s lowest staff turnover worldwide. Nvidia has mainland Chinese offices in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
黄仁勋去年至少三次前往中国大陆。4月，在美国对英伟达H20芯片实施出口许可要求后，他分别在北京和上海会见了副总理何立峰和上海市市长龚正。
Huang made at least three trips to mainland China last year. In April, after Washington imposed a licensing requirement on Nvidia’s H20 chips, he met Vice-Premier He Lifeng in Beijing and Shanghai Mayor Gong Zheng.
7月，他再次前往北京出席中国国际供应链促进博览会。期间，他还会见了商务部部长王文涛和小米创始人雷军，两人渊源可追溯至小米早期，当时小米是2013年极少数采用英伟达Tegra 4芯片的智能手机制造商之一。
He returned to Beijing in July for the China International Supply Chain Expo. During the trip, he also met Commerce Minister Wang Wentao and Xiaomi founder Lei Jun, whose ties with Huang go back to Xiaomi’s early days, when it was one of the few smartphone makers to use Nvidia’s Tegra 4 chip in 2013.
在一场媒体圆桌会上，黄仁勋赞扬华为技术在芯片、计算系统和网络领域的进步，称任何低估该公司或中国制造能力的人都“极其天真”。
At a media round table, Huang praised Huawei Technologies’ advances in chips, computing systems and networking, saying anyone who underestimated the company or China’s manufacturing capabilities was “deeply naive”.
黄仁勋还多次称赞中国在AI模型方面的开源路线。在北京供应链博览会上，他称中国的开源AI是“全球进步的催化剂”。
Huang has also repeatedly praised China’s open-source approach to AI models. At the Beijing supply chain expo, he called China’s open-source AI “a catalyst for global progress”.
1月在拉斯维加斯举行的CES展会上，他将开源模型转变的加速归功于DeepSeek的R1模型。3月，英伟达邀请月之暗面创始人杨植麟在圣何塞举行的GTC大会上发言，介绍该初创公司如何扩展其Kimi K2.5模型。
At CES in Las Vegas in January, he credited DeepSeek’s R1 model with accelerating the shift towards open models. In March, Nvidia invited Moonshot AI founder Yang Zhilin to speak at its GTC conference in San Jose, where he explained how the start-up scaled its Kimi K2.5 model.
黄仁勋主张，华盛顿应允许美国芯片制造商在中国竞争，而北京若保持市场对外国供应商开放将受益。他说，向中国销售将有助于美国技术获得更广泛的采用，并增强美国的竞争力。5月，黄仁勋随美国总统特朗普访问北京，当时英伟达正寻求消除H200销售的出口障碍。
Huang has argued that Washington should let US chipmakers compete in China and that Beijing would benefit from keeping its market open to foreign suppliers. Selling to China, he said, would help American technology gain wider adoption and strengthen US competitiveness. In May, Huang joined US President Donald Trump’s trip to Beijing as Nvidia sought to clear export hurdles to H200 sales.
随着双方的限制制约了数据中心芯片销售，英伟达在中国业务中更加重视机器人和自动驾驶。黄仁勋3月的GTC主题演讲展示了中国公司Galbot（银河通用）的人形机器人，英伟达随后发布了一款基于宇树科技H2 Plus打造的研究机器人。
As restrictions on both sides constrained data centre chip sales, Nvidia put greater emphasis on robotics and autonomous driving in its China operations. Huang’s March GTC keynote featured a humanoid from China’s Galbot, and Nvidia later unveiled a research robot built around Unitree Robotics’s H2 Plus.
6月，这家芯片制造商在北京、上海和深圳发布了十多个机器人相关职位的招聘广告。英伟达3月表示，中国车企比亚迪和吉利正在利用英伟达的Hyperion平台开发自动驾驶汽车。
In June, the chipmaker advertised for more than a dozen robotics roles across Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Chinese carmakers BYD and Geely were developing autonomous vehicles using Nvidia’s Hyperion platform, the US company said in March.
