Nvidia CEO faces security probe over alleged China espionage ties

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces a global security scandal after reports revealed his relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive accused of spying for China, prompting a Justice Department investigation and internal company review. The New York Times reported U.S. intelligence concluded Alice Huang provided China with confidential information and advanced chips, though Beijing denies the claims. A second relationship with a subordinate executive emerged this week, and Nvidia's board met as shares fell. Huang has denied knowing about the alleged espionage. The scandal raises questions about potential Chinese espionage operations and kompromat risks, while Nvidia lacks a clear succession plan. The company donated $25 million to the White House, and both parties in Washington are calling for congressional investigations.
