  "account": "Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang faced scrutiny over his relationship with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy for the U.S. intelligence agencies. In an October interview with Fortune, Huang expressed his belief that Nvidia could be of great service to China. The company had a large and growing opportunity in China, he added. Huang's interview took place before the New York Times reported that Alice Huang, who has no relation to him, was a Chinese intelligence asset. Huang's relationship with Alice Huang lasted at least until June 2024, as photos show them together in Taipei. In October, Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, expressing regret for his actions. Nvidia's revenue forecasts since August 2025 have excluded China due to regulatory uncertainty. The U.S. has prohibited Nvidia from selling its most advanced AI chips to China but has granted export licenses for older models. Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center operator, has been one of Nvidia's largest customers. U.S. officials suspect Nvidia's Chinese clients may have obtained Nvidia chips through smuggling or via data centers in other Asian nations using front companies.",
  "summary": "The Nvidia CEO spoke to Fortune about his views of US-China policy weeks before reports emerged that U.S. officials believe a woman he had an affair with was working as a Chinese spy.",
