Nvidia’s board of directors announced Sunday that it’s launching an independent investigation following reports that CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a Chinese spy operation.
Nvidia also published a message that Huang sent to the company admitting that he had an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based chip company Megaspeed (though he didn’t mention her by name). A memo circulating among U.S. policymakers earlier this year claimed that Alice Huang had been recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to spy on Nvidia’s CEO.
