Nvidia, CEO Huang sued over disclosures related to suspected Chinese spy
What happened
Nvidia has opened an independent investigation after reports that CEO Jensen Huang had a relationship with a businesswoman suspected of passing information to China, the company said on Sunday.
The New York Times reported that Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, an executive at Singapore-based datacenter firm Megaspeed, was assessed by US officials to be a Chinese intelligence asset.
Axios, citing a draft email to staff that Reuters also saw, reported that Jensen Huang admitted to an affair and took full responsibility.
Nvidia's board said it has no reason to believe US national security or company secrets were compromised, and that it has confidence in Huang.
Republican lawmakers asked Huang for a closed-door briefing next week to the House foreign affairs and intelligence committees on Nvidia's security protocols and his ties to the woman.
China's state-run Global Times accused US media of manufacturing a spy narrative, and Beijing's foreign ministry earlier called the New York Times report unsubstantiated.
