Alleged Chinese spy had 'close relationship' with Nvidia boss Jensen Huang
https://nypost.com/2026/10/29/business/alleged-chinese-spy-had-close-relationship-with-nvidia-boss-jensen-huang-report/First, does her activity actually fit the definition of “espionage”?
Espionage is the act of secretly gathering confidential, classified, or proprietary information without the owner's permission
The most important question is what she actually sent and how secret it was. Most companies have levels of secrecy ranging from non public to highly sensitive. For example, schematics of their chip would be concerning.
Also, this seems pretty different from setting up a mic behind a TV.
Second, although the article tries very hard to imply there was some kind of infidelity, adding irrelevant details about Jensen’s family, I don’t know that any of that happened.
I'll go as far as to say it's a right wing agitation propaganda rag. But the story first appeared in the NY Times, as another commenter has linked here,, so it's possible that the story may be accurate (though undoubtedly the nypost has sensationalized it, as that's their specialty), but both things can be true simultaneously. The NY Post can be trash and this series of events might have really happened.
> Mr. Huang has not received a defensive briefing, warnings sometimes given to Americans who are being targeted by foreign intelligence services, people briefed on the surveillance said.
It’s essentially saying intelligence was gathered that a Chinese asset was close to Jensen and absolutely nothing was done about it.
And by that, I mean...
He's the CEO of a company that is in it's second of 15-ish years 'selling shovel' booms. The guy who's motto has been 'We are 30 days from going out of business' for... about-ish 30 years.
Corporate espionage should have been a concern for a good part of that in his communications.
We have no clue what actually happened. For all we know it's a case of 'he was warned, his internal security groups already knew, and they were feeding useless info the whole time'.
We have on the record sources saying that he was not warned by the government. Hence me saying this is a story about government failure.
