Jensen Huang's extramarital affair with a suspected Chinese spy further complicates Nvidia's China problem

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang acknowledged an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a woman reported by The New York Times to be accused of being a Chinese spy, a matter that has put Nvidia's chip sales policy toward China under stricter scrutiny in Washington. Three House committees have requested a closed-door briefing with Huang on his relationship with Singapore-based customer Megaspeed; Democratic lawmakers set to control both chambers said Congress will open an investigation, and Trump said the FBI is investigating the matter. China says the spy allegations are smears. Megaspeed is accused of reselling restricted Nvidia AI chips to Chinese companies; the company denies any violations. About 9% of Nvidia's revenue last fiscal year came from China (including Hong Kong), and 8% in the most recent quarter; the U.S. has approved H200 sales to China, but Beijing has not yet approved large-scale imports.
