The New York Times reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based cloud provider Megaspeed, whom US intelligence agencies believe is a Chinese intelligence asset. Nvidia's board has opened its own investigation and says it currently has no evidence that national security or company secrets were compromised. China's foreign ministry has denied the allegations, calling them baseless.
