Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits affair with woman linked to Beijing

Jensen Huang, chief executive of Nvidia, told The Guardian on Sunday that he had an affair with Alice Huang, a woman alleged to be working for Beijing. The disclosure gives new relevance to footage captured last year in Taipei, where the two were seen exchanging a hand on the back and a kiss on the cheek. The Guardian notes that Huang’s close relationship with the U.S. president makes the revelation a matter of concern for U.S. security. Officials have not commented further, but the report highlights the potential implications of personal ties that intersect with high‑level political connections and alleged foreign intelligence links.
