Center-Right Owned by HT Media Ltd.China rejects ‘spy plot’ claims around Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, calls it ‘nothing but smears’ | What Beijing said
What's behind this
Shareholders have filed a lawsuit against Nvidia and its chief executive Jensen Huang, claiming the company misled investors about Huang’s reported relationship with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of espionage. The complaint follows statements by President Donald Trump that the FBI is investigating the affair, which Huang has acknowledged and apologized for, and that he told Trump he was unaware of any espionage involvement. A report cited by the suit alleges the alleged links helped facilitate about $7.5 billion in Nvidia chip shipments to China, prompting heightened scrutiny of the firm’s China sales amid U.S. export‑restriction and national‑security concerns.
