China Rejects Espionage Claims Against Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang

China has rejected allegations linking Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to a suspected Chinese intelligence operation, calling the claims "baseless" and "groundless slander." The denial came from Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun at a Beijing briefing. The allegations involve a businesswoman identified as Alice Huang, who is not related to the Nvidia chief, and who has been accused of passing sensitive intelligence and smuggling advanced AI chips. Nvidia confirmed it is investigating but stated its board sees no evidence that US national security or company secrets were compromised. US President Donald Trump defended Huang, describing him as an "honourable guy" and suggesting he may have an explanation. The dispute follows Trump's revelation of an FBI probe into the matter.
