Scandal-hit Jensen Huang loses his shine in his birthplace Taiwan

TAIPEI — The once adored Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is now facing a scandal that has tarnished his image in his birthplace of Taiwan. The FBI has launched an investigation into his affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman reportedly described as a Chinese spy by U.S. officials. The scandal erupted after a video of the pair dining at a restaurant in Taipei's capital city went viral and was broadcast worldwide.

Huang, born in Taiwan and raised there, returned frequently to the island for business events. A local tofu shop, Jane Hsieh’s establishment, displayed photos of Huang visiting her premises before the scandal broke. Hsieh, 70, was both shocked and deeply saddened by the revelation, expressing regret for Huang's tarnished public image. She questioned whether people in Taiwan would still warmly welcome him in light of the allegations.
