China rejects espionage claims targeting Nvidia CEO
Nvidia is keeping Jensen Huang as CEO while it conducts an independent probe into alleged foreign intelligence activity.
China's Foreign Ministry rejected allegations that Beijing ran a spying operation targeting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang through his ties to Alice Huang. Spokesman Guo Jiakun called the “China spy” narrative baseless accusations and an attempt to smear China. The denial came after Nvidia launched an independent investigation into reports that Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials suspect Alice Huang, an executive linked to Megaspeed in Singapore, gathered information for China. Amid the dispute, Nvidia spokesman John Rizzo said Jensen Huang remains in charge of the company. It remains unclear what information was allegedly obtained, its value or when the operation began.
