US tech giant seeks to become leader in China
U.S. technology giant Advanced Micro Devices may become the preferred U.S. chip provider for China.
Amid growing technology competition between the U.S. and China, AMD CEO and president Lisa Su has continued to build the company’s relationship and involvement with the communist power.
The Santa Clara, California-based company has deepened its dependence on China as 20% of its total revenue now comes from the communist country, according to Crypto Briefing. AMD simultaneously continues to grow in the U.S., announcing a long-term infrastructure agreement with Meta in February.
AMD supports China’s AI ecosystem as it employs over 4,000 engineers at research and development centers across multiple cities in China, according to Tom’s Hardware. In 2024, AMD launched the China AI Application Innovation Alliance, an alliance intended to promote local AI development in China, which exceeded 100 Independent Software Vendor (ISV) members in its first year, European Central Station reported.
Su has visited China at least four times meeting with senior Chinese officials since 2024, including a meeting with Vice Premier He Lifeng in May 2026. Su said in the meeting at The Great Hall of the People in Beijing that AMD would expand operations and investments in China.
AMD and Nvidia — which both have their headquarters in Santa Clara, California — have been long-time competitors. Nvidia became the first company in the world to hit $5 trillion in market value in October 2025.
