Nvidia: Jensen Huang acknowledges a relationship with an alleged Chinese spy

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has acknowledged an extramarital relationship with an executive suspected of spying for China, prompting the U.S. chip giant to launch an independent investigation while Congress demands explanations. The disclosure puts Nvidia—one of the world's most valuable semiconductor companies and a key supplier of AI chips—under fresh scrutiny at a time of heightened U.S.-China tech tensions. Lawmakers are seeking details on what the executive had access to and when the company became aware of the alleged ties. Investors will watch whether the probe disrupts Nvidia's government relations or export-compliance posture, and whether congressional hearings follow.
