Nvidia board opens independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang over alleged Chinese spy ties

Nvidia's board said Sunday that a committee of independent directors, assisted by outside counsel, will investigate reports that CEO Jensen Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort. The probe follows New York Times and Financial Times reporting that Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive U.S. intelligence believes was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security, had a close relationship with him. The board said it has no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised and that it has confidence in Huang, who admitted in a staff memo that he was unfaithful to his wife and said he will cooperate with the review.
