Jensen Huang controversy: How banned Nvidia chips find their way to China

What's behind this

Nvidia co‑founder Jensen Huang has resigned as president, chief executive officer and board member with immediate effect, the board announced on Thursday, November 12. The 63‑year‑old, who is married, stepped down amid reports of an affair with a Chinese businesswoman suspected by U.S. authorities of spying for Beijing, a controversy also referred to as the ‘Alice Huang’ affair. Chief financial officer Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent replacement. The resignation deepens a crisis for Nvidia, which had no clear succession plan for Huang.
