Story summary

On November 8, 2026, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair with Alice Huan, a business executive suspected by U.S. intelligence of gathering information for Beijing. In response, the company’s board initiated an independent investigation, involving outside legal counsel, into reports that Huang was targeted by foreign intelligence efforts. The New York Times and Financial Times had previously reported on Huang's relationship with Alice Huan, raising concerns among US Congress members who requested he testify in a closed-door briefing about Nvidia’s security protocols against espionage. China denied the spying allegations, calling them baseless and a smear campaign against Beijing.
