What was said

"I suggest that a more sophisticated long-term strategy is to optimize for a flywheel. And in order to optimize for that flywheel, you have to have both simultaneously technology leadership and wealth."

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues governments should take a long-term export-control approach that optimises for a self-reinforcing technology-and-wealth “flywheel”. He says prosperity, broad customer engagement and investment help countries and companies maintain technology leadership.
