  "account": "The power struggle behind the Jensen Huang scandal unfolded on November 11th, capturing global attention and sparking speculation about its impact on US technology policy. Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO of Nvidia, the world's leading AI chip company, has publicly apologized to his family and admitted to infidelity. However, this personal scandal takes on a significant geopolitical dimension as US intelligence sources have allegedly leaked information alleging a close relationship between Huang and a Singapore-based data center executive deemed a Chinese intelligence asset by the US. Beijing has dismissed these claims, while US President believes Huang genuinely did not know the woman's true affiliation. This alleged close connection has raised concerns in Washington about Huang's influence over decisions regarding the sale of Nvidia's powerful AI chips to China. According to Tim Culpan, a technology journalist and researcher based in Taipei, the leaking of this information reflects the underlying concerns that Huang's close ties could grant him disproportionate influence over critical US technology policy decisions.",
