Is Jensen Huang Too Naive? His Views on China Ignore the CCP's Most Terrifying Side!

This episode is hosted by Stan. It mainly discusses two topics: First, Trump's speech in Alaska mentioning cooperation with Taiwan and the purchase of natural gas, analyzing the electoral motivation behind it to stabilize oil prices. Second, it analyzes the positive impact of American tech influencer Lex Fridman bringing NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang to visit Taiwan, while pointing out that Jensen Huang's advocacy of "avoiding war and making money through harmony" lacks a deep understanding of the the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) system, ignoring the CCP's essence of taking advantage and stealing technology, and emphasizing that Taiwan should put national security and de-risking first.

Here the problem is that China does not want to make money through harmony with you. The attitude of the CCP, because actually it—I think his understanding of the Chinese people is not very deep. Because Jensen Huang is Taiwanese, and he has lived in the United States for a long time, he understands the United States very well, and he also understands quite a lot of things about Taiwan—he understands a very large number of things. That is also a fact. But he doesn't understand China. Those people in the communist system of China, their entire attitude toward life, whether they are Chinese Communist Party members, entrepreneurs, or ordinary citizens, the societal average feels that you owe them. And then it's that attitude of cheating whenever possible. If they can take advantage of you, they are happy.

News is rock-hard, listening to news is the most enjoyable

I am the show host Stan, welcome everyone to watch

Today I want to discuss two things with everyone

Regarding matters related to the US and Taiwan, first of all, there have been quite a few related reports in the Taiwanese media recently. President Trump went to Alaska, because of course, elections are very important. And then the election is coming up on November 3. So now he is announcing, uh, his kind of core, solid voter base part. And Alaska has traditionally been a state that is relatively supportive of the Republican Party. So this time, during his speech, he naturally took a slight dig at Taiwan. But at the same time, he also said that cooperation and exchanges with Taiwan will only deepen. When I say a dig, it is because every time the Taiwanese media reports that, oh, uh, Trump said Taiwan stole something, like America's, uh, chip business. But basically, this isn't really scolding Taiwan. Generally speaking, when Americans say to you, "You've stolen my business," it means you took away my business. This, this is actually a compliment. It means you are capable, you have the ability. Because in the past, I couldn't imagine having this opportunity. So he said that previous presidents just didn't think of those tariff policies, and he thought of them. So, uh, this way, America won't be treated unfairly, that kind of feeling. But he did say, uh, Taiwan is great. Because he also said that the US has always been very supportive. Next is an 80 billion US dollar integrated natural gas project in Alaska, which will be bought by Taiwan? That is, Taiwan guarantees, um, it can purchase from the US, uh, this amount of natural gas. But, uh, this is quite interesting. Because Alaska is also on the west side of the United States. So, um, transporting it to Taiwan is also relatively convenient. Compared to the East Coast, it is of course a huge difference. And it can also save quite a lot of time. So the US has business to do, and Taiwan makes money. Taiwan's energy security also has some more guarantees. I think this matter is very good.

And of course, because Trump's problem right now is that, uh, the election situation is not very good. That is, many people say the Senate might be held, but the House of Representatives is very uncertain. So he has recently also been, trying his best to keep oil prices, uh, down to the minimum. Because, Americans mainly complain about the rising cost of living. And, the biggest problem lies in oil prices. Because the US is also an oil-producing country. So recently he also talked with Ukraine, asking if they could not attack Russia's, uh, oil refineries. Because he also talked with Russia, asking Russia to let, uh, quite a large amount of diesel fuel into the international market. Um, all of this is to save this election problem. Well, democratic countries are naturally quite realistic, being voted in one person, one vote. So if he wants to save Congress, he must, he definitely needs to take these actions. This is one thing happening in the US.

Another thing, I want to talk to you about something relatively relaxed, which is also related to the election, and also related to, Taiwan's status in the international arena. But it is also caused by the fact that American tech moguls sometimes do not understand Taiwan enough, or their attitude is a bit naive. Recently, there is a quite famous American internet personality, a leader in thought. Someone who originally interacted quite closely with scholars and has written some articles himself, named Lex Fridman. He has 200 million, um, Americans, and he studied engineering, he's an engineer. And now his podcast show is very famous, with many people subscribed, having several million subscribers. He has also interviewed Trump, he has interviewed various presidential, uh, candidates. He has also been to Ukraine and interviewed Zelensky. Um, American politicians, scientists, scholars, have all been interviewed by him once. And his shows are quite long, lasting two or three hours. But, um, the guests are different every time. If he encounters a very interesting guest, I think his interview style is quite admirable. Because he doesn't express his opinions much. He mainly lets the subject, lets his guest shine. But this show is like, if the guest is good, then the show will be very interesting. If the guest is not good, then, since he has no way to use his own methods to save the show's effect, it all depends on the guest for that part of the show.

He recently visited Taiwan. And when he went to Taiwan, he brought his good friend along—you could say this good friend brought him. This good friend is Jensen Huang, who has also been making major investments in Taiwan recently. He is the founder of Nvidia, the chairman. Well, Jensen Huang was in Taiwan for a few days because it happened to be during the computer expo, and he brought Lex Fridman along. They were mainly in northern Taiwan. They visited many different night markets and attended many different events. He was introducing Taiwan to him. Now, of course, when Jensen Huang arrived at the computer expo, he was like a celebrity, because many people are using his graphics cards. But I think many Taiwanese people saw it and said, 'Oh, it's so great that they are eating together.' And, of course, this has a very positive effect on Americans. That's right. Here, we are just, uh, calling it like it is. Jensen Huang did a good job on this point—bringing an American to Taiwan and, through his show, introducing some of Taiwan's cultural aspects or how the entire semiconductor industry developed. Actually, the most interesting part wasn't what night market they ate at, because the media was just filming them at the night markets. What was interesting was when they were riding in the car together, and Jensen Huang was telling him about the ins and outs of the semiconductor industry, how the whole industry developed, and the connection between Taiwanese society and the high-tech industry. I think that was done—that was actually done even better.

Americans who watched this show will first feel that Taiwan is very diligent. Oh, Taiwanese people are also very innovative, very polite, and very hospitable, welcoming friends from all over the world. They will receive them with great enthusiasm. Now, as for Fridman, many of his viewers are, uh, intellectuals, because he interviews scholars, scientists, and politicians. They make up a relatively large part of his show. So, it should increase the perspective and thoughts on Taiwan among some key people in the United States. This is a good thing. But there are also bad things. This is the reason why I wanted to make this video.

First of all, there are two bad things. I'll start with the lighter one. Every time Taiwan is introduced, can we not always focus on Taipei? Hahaha. This is just my personal opinion. I think there are too many places in Taiwan outside of Taipei that are worth seeing. And if you stay for a few days, besides the computer expo, you should also—if you want to introduce technology, you could go to the Hsinchu Science Park. You could also go to Kaohsiung. Actually, TSMC is also expanding in Tainan and Chiayi, which is great. And Taiwanese culture isn't just focused on Taipei City, is it?

Oh, I was thinking about how recently that Chiang Wan-an offended that person, Jensen Huang. Because Jensen Huang is planning to invest very close to the Beitou-Shilin Technology Park, right there in Shilin District. Why? Because it's very close to Songshan Airport. Actually, Songshan Airport is an airport that many wealthy people deeply cherish. Because if you fly by private jet, you disembark right in the city center. You are right in the prime downtown area, which is extremely convenient. Without this Songshan Airport, Taiwan would also lose the business of those wealthy individuals. And then Chiang Wan-an even asked Jensen Huang to take the Taoyuan MRT. Good lord! As for Jensen Huang as a person, I don't really like him. But you have to look at any super-rich tycoon like this—they simply cannot take public transportation. This is a matter of safety. Uh, at any time and place, they could be followed. At any time and place, they could be photographed. He, he definitely has to pay close attention to his safety. If you look at him, even when visiting night markets, he has a security team with him. Because the man is extremely, extremely valuable. Even though Taiwan is very safe, bad people still exist. And you're going to ask a super-rich person to go ride the MRT there? You, Chiang Wan-an, I don't know what part of your body you are using to, to think things through. Furthermore, from Taoyuan Airport, if you don't take the MRT, well, there's traffic congestion. Furthermore, from Taoyuan Airport, if you don't take the MRT, well, there's traffic congestion, and to get to the Xinyi District it still takes one or two hours. An, more than an hour. It could take up to two hours, uh, or to get to Shilin District, it also takes over an hour, to get to the part, to his company where he wants to make the investment. So I, I, I, I really feel that this person Chiang Wan-an—well, let's not talk about this angle.

What I want to talk about is the negative aspect of the interview, right? The positive was already covered. Then, uh, let's talk about the negative as well. Which is that Jensen Huang is a bit, uh, naive. Because they had a segment, he talked quite in detail about how to avoid a war. And he believes that no matter how things develop, every possible method must be used to avoid conflict—that is, to steer clear of conflict. Now, of course, that sounds great. This is also the very reason why I always criticize the Kuomintang (KMT). They always say—just like, remember, during the 2024 presidential election, Hou Yu-ih was making gestures over there, saying you're good, I'm good, everyone is good. That is, you're good, I'm good, everyone is good. Making a fortune through harmony, which means disciples making a fortune. Um, everyone gets along peacefully, and, and everyone makes money. So he's also—Jensen Huang has cooperation with China, and has built factories in Taiwan, and his headquarters personnel are in the US. He feels that this way, China makes money, Taiwan makes money, and the US makes money, and everyone is happy.

The problem here is that China doesn't want to make a fortune through harmony with you. The attitude of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—because actually, he, I, I don't think his understanding of Chinese people is very deep. Because Jensen Huang is Taiwanese, and he has also lived in the United States for a long time, he understands the United States extremely well, and he also understands a great deal about Taiwan, meaning he understands an enormous number of things. Th, this is also true, this is also a fact. But he doesn't have that for China. These people under the communist system in China, their entire attitude toward life—regardless of whether they are Chinese Communist Party members, entrepreneurs, or ordinary citizens—the general societal feeling is that you somehow owe them something. And it's that kind of attitude of taking whatever you can swindle. If they can take advantage of you, they are happy, they are endlessly thrilled. This is one thing.

Second, they can use you, and they also feel they can use you to strengthen themselves. They don't care if you make money or not. Many super-rich people in China simply cannot make much money anyway. After all, businesses are confiscated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) anyway. This is a matter of fact. Especially when we talk about high tech and semiconductors, Nvidia's chips are also used by the Chinese Communist Party to make their DeepSeek. Ah, the People's Liberation Army also uses them. That is, the part about these chips. Now regarding their technology theft, how they now deceive the Taiwanese people, how they use all kinds of methods to buy Taiwanese technology if they can buy it, and steal it if they can't. They can also trick senior engineers into going to China. They do this kind of thing too; they just want to cheat. They don't want to make money together with you; they want to take advantage of you. Moreover, the Chinese Communist Party also knows that it has ambitions toward Taiwan, which is to occupy Taiwan. You might think we can all be well and prosperous together. In the end, when they are well, you have to suffer. This is, this is their way of thinking.

At this time, to avoid conflict, the best method is neither cooperation nor communication. Although some members of the Kuomintang, or people who support Nvidia's policies, might have different ideas from me, we can discuss it. But I don't think cooperation is the way out. The point is that you need to protect your own security. We have now reached a point where protecting yourself is your priority consideration. To protect yourself, you prevent your things from being stolen, and you reduce your interactions with them. Perhaps you cannot quickly move toward a decoupling, but at least you must do some basic de-risking. Well, what Jensen Huang said, actually Americans all know it, and these tech giants have the same attitude toward China. Elon Musk's attitude toward China is also the same. He feels that China is still stealing critical things, and they are all in his hands. It's not like that. The enemy agents are right around you. Everyone needs to understand this principle. Therefore, at this time, maybe 20 years ago we could make a fortune in harmony and get rich together, wishing everyone well. That time has already passed. Now, if you are doing well, then he is not doing well. He just wants to take advantage of you. And this is also the mindset of their communist country and their entire totalitarian system. They think you are an enemy, and not only an enemy, but they also treat you like a willing fool who can have your things stolen while you still bring your own money to trade with them. This, I think Taiwanese viewers should also see clearly.

I know many people support Nvidia, and my frequent criticism of Nvidia's policies does not mean I think this company is bad, or its products are bad. But I am talking about national security considerations, and Jensen Huang should also keep this in mind. Let's stick to the facts. This thing is indeed a risk. But promoting Taiwan is certainly great. I, this, give him a thumbs up. Then everyone can subscribe to Lex Fridman's show. He is quite an interesting person. And his guests are also quite great. That's all I want to share today, we'll just make a short, uh, one-week video. Alright, let's do this, bye, see you there.
