BYD EVP Li Ke: Nvidia remains a very important chip partner

The value here is in the signal, not the substance: a senior BYD figure publicly naming Nvidia as a key chip partner at a moment when automotive semiconductor sourcing is heavily scrutinized. It matters most for suppliers and rivals tracking whether Chinese automakers keep dual-track relationships with US chip designers. No scope, volumes or duration were given, so whether this remains a supply relationship or deepens into co-development is the open question.
