US tech giant Nvidia has opened an independent investigation following reports its CEO Jensen Huang had a relationship with a suspected Chinese spy.
The company, one of the most valuable in the world, says its board has no reason to believe Nvidia’s secrets or national security were compromised.
US intelligence officials believe Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, who had a close relationship with Jensen Huang, was a spy for Beijing, according to the New York Times.
Huang has separately admitted to having been “unfaithful” to his wife and apologised for hurting her and their children.
US President Donald Trump says he has not spoken to the Nvidia boss since news of the investigation emerged.
“I just know he’s a fine person, but you never know what’s going on,” Trump told reporters late on Sunday, adding that he had “done an amazing job for our country”.
