Nvidia board weighs firing CEO Jensen Huang over China spy affair

Nvidia's board will decide imminently whether to dismiss CEO Jensen Huang following his affair with a woman U.S. intelligence says spied for China, according to Bloomberg and Reuters. The woman allegedly attempted to extract chip secrets and has returned to Beijing. Nvidia previously launched an independent investigation, stating no evidence suggests sensitive corporate secrets were stolen. Huang also had an affair with another woman, reportedly an Nvidia employee. The California-based company is a leading AI chipmaker for data centers, generating large profits. U.S. officials worry advanced chips could reach China, aiding military modernization and AI development. Nvidia's stock fell sharply on the Nasdaq after the scandal emerged.
