November 29, 2025 – During a recent interview, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang was, for the first time, questioned by the media about the incident involving Luo Weiren, the former senior vice – president of TSMC. Huang maintained a low – key stance, stating that he was “not aware of the specific details.” However, he quickly shifted gears to express strong support for TSMC.
Huang emphasized that TSMC’s success is not dependent on a single individual. He pointed out that the company’s technology is extremely intricate. Beyond the core aspects of chips, transistors, and manufacturing processes, it also encompasses operational management, business planning, and various other dimensions. As a company that mass – produces chips for the global market, every link in TSMC’s chain is, in essence, a form of technology.
He firmly believed that TSMC has a solid foundation in both technology and operations. With a wide range of technological capabilities, Huang expressed full confidence in TSMC’s continued prosperity. He urged the outside world not to oversimplify TSMC by reducing it to a single person or a single event.
When it came to the issue of how NVIDIA and TSMC protect technology and sensitive information, Huang gave high praise to TSMC. “TSMC has done an excellent job in safeguarding our sensitive information. We have never had a single moment of worry,” he said.
Huang also delved into NVIDIA’s own technological landscape. He noted that NVIDIA’s technology is highly complex, spanning chips, systems, and software. The company boasts a diverse portfolio of chip types, not just GPUs. All these technologies need to be seamlessly integrated to achieve success. “Our technology is so complex and difficult to truly comprehend. It has taken us 33 years to reach where we are today,” he remarked.
Regarding talent mobility, Huang admitted that NVIDIA has always seen a flow of talent, with new people joining and some leaving. But he highlighted that most employees stay with the company for a long time. He believed that NVIDIA’s technology is extremely difficult to replicate.
Looking ahead, Huang announced that he plans to return to Taiwan in January next year. He is expected to attend NVIDIA’s year – end party in Taiwan. With a smile, he revealed that the much – anticipated lucky draw red envelopes for employees are actually paid out of his own pocket. He explained that the red envelopes have been getting larger over the years because the employees have worked so hard to generate more profits for the company, and “the boss also needs to work harder to be able to afford them.”
