Nvidia shares drop: CEO admits affair with suspected spy; how can it impact the tech major?

What's behind this

Alice Huang, a former Chinese banker who later took a leadership role at a Singapore data‑centre firm, is reported to have had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The relationship has drawn attention after allegations that she used the connection to divert about $7.5 billion worth of Nvidia chips – roughly 240,000 H100 and H200 processors – to China. Separate records show a Chinese university linked to the PLA purchased two H200 AI chips, valued at $123,000, despite being on a U.S. export blacklist. The affair has sparked concern in both technology and political circles.
