Nvidia CEO's Resignation Linked to Affair with Alleged Chinese Spy

Jensen Huang, CEO of US semiconductor giant Nvidia, resigned on the 12th following an affair with Alice Huang, a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy. The scandal has raised concerns about potential intelligence gathering related to US AI chip technology. Alice Huang reportedly worked as a Chinese state TV journalist and at financial firms, but her background remains unverified. She served as an executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed International, with US intelligence suspecting her of being an agent for China's Ministry of State Security. Chinese officials deny the spy allegations, calling them fabricated by the US. Investigators have sought clues in Singapore and Japan, with a New York Times reporter noting her public appearances contrast with her hidden history, suggesting she may have been recruited over time.
