What's behind this
Nvidia’s board has opened a probe into CEO Jensen Huang after he disclosed a romantic relationship in a memo to staff, prompting concerns about a possible Chinese intelligence operation targeting him. The news sent Nvidia shares down about 5% in pre‑market trading and an 8% plunge at the market open, a fall that could erase roughly $225 billion in market value. The chipmaker, a key player in the global artificial‑intelligence sector, now faces an unprecedented crisis and has no clearly identified successor for its chief executive. The allegations have revived scrutiny of China’s espionage activities, with a CSIS database listing 224 reported Chinese spy cases against the United States since 2000.
