Nvidia board probes CEO Jensen Huang over alleged Chinese spy relationship
Briefing by News4U · First published
Nvidia’s board said it is initiating an independent investigation after reports that CEO Jensen Huang had a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, a woman US authorities believe is a Chinese intelligence asset who worked for Singapore-based Megaspeed. Huang admitted in a memo to employees that he was unfaithful to his wife and apologized to his family and colleagues, pledging full cooperation with the review. The company stated it has no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised. President Donald Trump called Huang an “honorable guy” and said he had not spoken to him about the allegations. Top House Republicans have asked Huang to brief Congress this month.
