Asian governments respond to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's exit

Asian governments are reacting to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's departure, with some confirming chip supply commitments while others monitor local projects and investigations. Huang left after an independent investigation was launched following reports he was targeted by a Chinese spy operation and admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive. China's foreign ministry rejected spy allegations against Alice Huang as groundless, while uncertainty surrounds over $3 billion in Chinese AI projects reliant on Nvidia's restricted processors. Singapore seized Alice Huang's passport in June 2025 during an investigation into possible false declarations, though police found insufficient evidence of offenses in February 2026, issuing her a warning and barring her re-entry. South Korea confirmed Nvidia's plan to supply 260,000 advanced GPUs and held an emergency AI strategy meeting, while Taiwan said the global AI industry's growth would be largely unaffected and Nvidia's overseas headquarters project remains on track. Japan's response was not detailed in the report.
