China rejects US spy claims as cover for tech blockade

globalnation.inquirer.net —

China accused the United States on Thursday of using unsubstantiated espionage claims as a pretext to impose a technological blockade, following reports that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was targeted in a Chinese spy plot. Foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said China's technological progress stems from independent innovation and open cooperation, urging Washington to stop fabricating spy narratives. Huang, who admitted to an extramarital affair with a woman US officials suspect of intelligence ties, has lobbied against chip export curbs. The dispute precedes a Trump-Xi meeting next week at the APEC summit in Shenzhen. Trump previously approved Nvidia's H200 chip exports to China despite bipartisan opposition.
