Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits affair amid Chinese spy allegations; China denies claims

Jensen Huang, CEO of technology giant Nvidia, has become embroiled in a classic espionage scandal after admitting to an extramarital affair with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le. Western media reports suggest she may have ties to Chinese intelligence services. Alice held a senior position at Singapore-based Megaspeed, a major Nvidia client. Huang apologized to employees, and Nvidias board has found no evidence of leaked trade secrets or threats to U.S. national security. However, U.S. intelligence believes Alice was gathering information on technology and helping China access advanced AI chips. Huang will continue leading Nvidia and has pledged to cooperate with investigations, including testifying before the U.S. Congress on November 18. President Donald Trump publicly supported Huang, calling him a "fine person" and insisting he should remain CEO. Meanwhile, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun dismissed the allegations as slander and baseless speculation.
