Alice Huang, la espía china de pasado misterioso que llegó hasta el consejero delegado de Nvidia

Pekín califica de “calumnias” las informaciones sobre el espionaje de la empresaria y rechaza que actuara a sueldo de sus servicios de inteligencia

Alice Huang, la espía china de pasado misterioso que llegó hasta el consejero delegado de Nvidia

Nvidia has announced an independent investigation into reports that its CEO, Jensen Huang, was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. This announcement followed an open letter posted on Nvidia's website in which Huang acknowledged being intimate with a business executive and issued an apology to his wife and the company. While Huang did not name the woman, The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence determined she was gathering information for Beijing.

China has denied the allegations, with Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Guo Jiakun stating during a routine briefing on Monday that the claims of spying are unsubstantiated smears and baseless speculation. El Pais reports that Beijing's response comes as the chip manufacturer begins its investigation. Huang stated in his letter that he will cooperate fully with the investigation and is committed to protecting the company and American national security.
