Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s woes evoke sympathy, disbelief in his birthplace Taiwan
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is drawing both sympathy and disbelief in his birthplace Taiwan, where he has rock star status, after dramatic revelations of his affair with a woman who could have been a Chinese spy.
Whenever he visits, adoring fans and excited reporters follow, hanging on every word from the most prolific salesman of the AI boom, in a trend domestic media call “Jensanity”.
Shock at news that both Nvidia’s board and the FBI are investigating to determine if Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort is palpable in the small Taipei businesses and restaurants he frequents on trips.
