>The dissident was convicted in Hong Kong earlier this week of two counts of conspiring to collude with foreign forces
>he also met with then–Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; at trial, Lai testified that he had asked them to voice their support for Hong Kong.
Yeah, I don't think that's going to help convince anyone buddy.
Imagine if Jensen Huang started meeting Xi Jinping.
Nothing would happen to Mr. Huang, he's free to talk to anyone.
Nvidia has become an incredibly important strategic and economic American asset. If it ever seemed that the CEO of such an asset was colluding with a foreign nation (especially China), you can bet things wouldn't end too well. People have been done for far less, just look at what happened to Suchir Balaji which got covered up.
Too bad Mr. Lai was not
He wouldn't be meeting Xi, as it's not a state visit, but he did meet the Vice Premier, He Lifeng. Elon also met Li Qiang.
Imagine if Jensen Huang started meeting Xi Jinping to seek help for carrying out political change in the US.
What then?
No need, he has already convinced Trump to sell chips to China unabated. Why meet at this point?
