Nvidia CEO Huang Admits Affair Amid China Spy Probe

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a businesswoman suspected of ties to Chinese intelligence, prompting the company's board to open an independent probe into whether he was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, KBS World and Korea Times report. The scandal, which follows a media report linking him to the woman accused of passing information to Beijing, has raised security concerns and cast a shadow over Nvidia's partnerships in Korea, with industry officials worried it could affect the U.S. AI semiconductor ecosystem, Business Korea reports. China's foreign ministry dismissed the "so-called Chinese spy narrative" as unsubstantiated, according to Korea Times. Korean media coverage has focused on the affair's fallout, with Business Korea noting the "Jensen Huang Risk" is spreading uncertainty in the local chip industry, while Korea Times reports renewed attention on Huang's past comments about his wife.
