Beijing has dismissed US media reports of espionage as “groundless speculation” aimed at smearing China
American AI chipmaking giant Nvidia has launched an independent investigation into allegations that its founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, was targeted in a Chinese intelligence ‘honeypot’ operation, after the billionaire admitted to cheating on his wife.
The 63-year-old billionaire did not identify the woman involved in the affair or explicitly mention China in his Sunday message to employees. However, he acknowledged the national security concerns raised by media reports, pledged to cooperate with the investigation announced by Nvidia’s board of directors, and reaffirmed his commitment to protecting the company and US national security.
“I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry,” Huang wrote.
The admission follows reports by the New York Times and Financial Times alleging that Huang had developed a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, a Chinese executive formerly associated with Singapore-based technology company Megaspeed International.
