Nvidia reviews China business after Jensen Huang confirms affair with woman suspected of spying

Jensen Huang’s affair with alleged Chinese spy puts Nvidia’s China ambitions under scrutiny

Jensen Huang has admitted an affair with Alice Huang, a woman US intelligence officials suspect worked for Chinese intelligence. Nvidia's independent directors are investigating with outside counsel, and Congress has asked for an explanation. The Financial Times reports that US intelligence officials believe Alice Huang was recruited to gather information on Huang and to influence the company's push to loosen chip export limits. These allegations are not investigation findings.

Why it matters: Huang's admission has triggered a board probe and congressional questions, and the spying allegations may undercut Nvidia's case for looser China chip export limits.
