The Venn diagram of technology, geopolitics and national security = the Nvidia scandal.
Something we didn’t have on our bingo cards for 2026: The boss of the AI firm Nvidia is being investigated by his own company after being caught having an affair with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy.
Jensen Huang’s admitted the affair with Alice Huang (no relation) and China’s denied that she’s a spy. Jensen Huang’s friend, the US President Donald Trump, has backed him. So, where does this leave one of the most powerful men in the world? And what does this all mean for US national security? We break it all down with Shawn Yuan from the BBC’s Global China Unit.
