Palantir chief takes a jab at Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, says people decrying ‘China hawks’ are useful idiots — 'The first step to ending our dependence on China is admitting we have a problem'

Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar emphasizes the need for the U.S. to acknowledge and address its dependency on China, labeling it as a critical issue in an economic war between the two nations. Sankar criticizes Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's stance on 'China hawks,' implying that those who deny the economic conflict are aiding in their own downfall. He suggests that American companies, including tech giants like Apple and Tesla, have played a significant role in China's growth by investing heavily in the country. Sankar advocates for the U.S. to rebuild its industrial base and establish alternative markets to reduce reliance on China and safeguard its sovereignty in the face of Beijing's ambitions.
