Today, NVIDIA is widely recognized as one of the most consequential technology companies in the world. But when founder and CEO Jensen Huang set out to build the company more than three decades ago, it was considered an extraordinarily risky bet on a new approach to computing. How did Huang, an immigrant from working-class roots in Taiwan, build NVIDIA into a company at the center of the AI revolution, and could he have done so anywhere other than the United States?

In this episode of Only in America, Condoleezza Rice sits down with Huang at NVIDIA’s Silicon Valley headquarters to explore the experiences, opportunities, and institutions that shaped his remarkable journey. Huang reflects on coming to America as a child, the culture of ambition and innovation that influenced him, the vision that led him to found NVIDIA, and the perseverance required to navigate years of uncertainty and skepticism.

From security dossiers and advanced aerospace stealth designs to the mundane technology in your living room, virtually no sector of the American economy has remained untouched by the Chinese Communist Party’s intellectual property theft campaign.

In this interview, I sit down with David Shedd, former acting director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and co-author of “The Great Heist: China’s Epic Campaign to Steal America’s Secrets.”

He details how China’s vast economic growth over the past twenty-five years was bolstered by stealing American intellectual property, technology, data, and know-how.

Crucially, Shedd warns that this campaign extends beyond corporate espionage. No target is too small in the CCP’s eyes if it could benefit the Party, he argues.

Shedd addresses a host of questions: how does China’s civilian-military fusion strategy turn its citizens into spies on demand? What are some major instances of China stealing information from the United States? And what are the implications for national security? And how can American citizens defend themselves against theft?
