Nvidia CEO's Affair with Suspected Chinese Spy Triggers Board Probe

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy, prompting a board investigation into potential foreign intelligence targeting. The Nvidia board announced Sunday it is investigating reports Huang was a target of a foreign intelligence operation. Alice Huang, a former Chinese state media reporter, met Jensen in March 2024 and later became a director at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based Nvidia cloud hardware provider linked to Chinese firm 7Road Holdings. Authorities in Singapore and Taiwan reportedly placed Huang under surveillance, suspecting Chinese intelligence recruitment. Jensen, a top AI advisor to President Trump, faces concerns over national security and Nvidia's future, with his centralized leadership style raising succession risks.
