Senator calls for Nvidia CEO's resignation over affair with alleged Chinese spy
Republican Senator Kevin Cramer has called for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to step down following revelations of his affair with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to be a spy for Beijing, citing potential extortion risks tied to sensitive chip technology. Cramer told Politico that the affair creates a security risk, saying "the potential for extortion is so tremendous" regarding Nvidia chips. Huang faces a board investigation after a New York Times report, with the FBI also examining the matter, though Nvidia says no national security or company secrets were compromised. Huang, a close Trump ally in Silicon Valley, has admitted infidelity to employees but provided no details. Trump said he believes Huang's claim he didn't know the woman was a spy, while China's foreign ministry dismissed the accusations as groundless.
