Arya News - The scandal around Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang`s affair with a woman whom US intelligence suspects of working for China underscores the need to stay diligent, but will not undermine US contacts with China, US Ambassador to China David Perdue said.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Monday that claims of Chinese spying on Nvidia were purely unsubstantiated and directed at smearing China.He was asked whether the suspected espionage case could harm bilateral relations amid preparations for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, scheduled for November 18-19. The New York Times reported on November 6 that Chinese business executive Alice Huang had a close relationship with Jensen Huang and was an "asset" of China"s Ministry of State Security. Jensen Huang confessed to having an extramarital affair. Nvidia announced the start of an independent probe. Nvidia spokesperson John Rizzo said that Huang intended to continue in his position.
