Growing bipartisan pressure is mounting in the US Congress on Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang over his ties to a businesswoman suspected by US intelligence officials of working for Beijing’s intelligence services, with lawmakers from both parties demanding to know whether US national security was compromised.
Chinese authorities have dismissed the spying allegations.
The controversy escalated over the weekend when Nvidia’s board announced an independent investigation after Huang admitted he had been unfaithful to his wife. Huang’s statement about his infidelity did not name the businesswoman, Alice Huang. The two are not related.
