FBI Probes Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's Ties to Alleged Chinese Spy

spiegel.de (German) —

The FBI is investigating Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with an alleged Chinese spy, US President Donald Trump announced at a White House press conference. Trump said he believes Huang's denial of knowing the woman was a spy. Nvidia has launched its own investigation led by board members and external investigators after reports emerged about the alleged espionage. The woman, who reportedly worked for Nvidia customer Megaspeed, is suspected of being recruited by China's intelligence service to gather information on Huang. China has denied the espionage allegations, calling them "slander." Nvidia shares fell about six percent amid concerns about Huang's potential resignation, as he is considered a key figure in the AI boom and US-China technology competition.
