NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang targeted by Chinese spy, Trump reportedly took no action

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

US intelligence agencies reportedly identified Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, as a target of a Chinese government spy operation. The spy, Alice Huang, is believed to be an intelligence asset passing information to Beijing and was allegedly involved in directing advanced NVIDIA chips into China. Notably, former President Trump was reportedly briefed on the matter a year ago but chose to take no action, a decision that has raised questions given standard protocols for briefing individuals targeted by foreign intelligence.
