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.
