Summary
China’s Foreign Ministry on Monday called reports that Jensen Huang’s romantic partner was a Chinese spy “pure fabrication” and a smear against China.
Sunday’s disclosure by Huang identified the woman as Alice Huang, a Chinese business executive whom U.S. officials suspected of passing information to Chinese intelligence.
Nvidia said it had opened an investigation into Huang’s conduct, while the board said it had no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised.
Washington has treated the matter as a national security issue, with some lawmakers urging Huang to testify before Congress, underscoring how the episode has fed U.S.-China rivalry over AI.
