What we know – and what we don’t – as Nvidia investigates an alleged spy plot involving its CEO

Stunning allegations of a spy plot have prompted investigations of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair with a purported Chinese government agent.

Over the weekend, Huang admitted to having an extramarital affair, and acknowledged that news reports surrounding the relationship and potential national security concerns led Nvidia’s board to investigate. He and his chipmaking company did not name the person he had been intimate with, but The New York Times identified her as business executive and Chinese citizen Alice Huang. The outlet said U.S. intelligence determined she was gathering information for Beijing.
