Nvidia is investigating Jensen Huang’s relationship with an alleged Chinese spy

Nvidia's board has launched an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive reported to have been recruited by China's Ministry of State Security. An independent director committee and outside counsel oversee the probe. The board says it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were harmed, and Jensen Huang supports the investigation and has pledged to cooperate.

Why it matters: Nvidia's board is investigating its CEO's ties to an executive accused of foreign intelligence work, alongside a customer chip-smuggling probe and US export limits.
