The company stated the inquiry will be conducted by an independent committee assisted by outside legal counsel and funded by the corporation to examine all available information. Additionally, U.S. Congress committees requested Huang to testify in a closed-door briefing regarding Nvidia’s security protocols against espionage. China denied the claims of spying on Huang as baseless. Shares of Nvidia dropped before the market open on November 9 following these developments.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
