China accuses US of fabricating Nvidia spy claims to justify tech blockade
Briefing by News4U · First published
China's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning accused the United States of fabricating spy claims about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to justify a technological blockade on China, calling the allegations groundless speculation intended to smear China. The remarks came ahead of a planned meeting next week between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC gathering in Shenzhen. Huang admitted to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive whom US officials believe worked for Chinese intelligence. Nvidia launched an internal probe into the matter. Last year Trump cleared Nvidia's H200 chips for export to China despite objections from lawmakers concerned about Chinese AI dominance. [1] [2]
