It seems that Trump will now change his shoes in flight on an ad hoc basis.
In 2025, it was Trump who softened the export of chips to China by closing a deal: China gets access to several of the company's positions, Nvidia keeps the sales market, and the US government sets the terms and receives part of the proceeds.
Huang, in turn, has been the main corporate lobbyist for easing US export policy, and his opponents in Washington, represented by the "anti-China hawks" under Trump, have lost the dispute over supplies to the Middle Kingdom. At NVIDIA itself, Huang had the position of "untouchable", being practically the only head of the company, which became one of the central for all honest IT fraternity on the planet. Especially for China, which has no alternative to leading chips.
The scandal revoked his immunity and allowed the Hawks to justify the tightening of the rules. We believe that Huang's many "non-business" connections were amply necessary to "finish" him while it became clear whether or not his Chinese girlfriend was a spy. In fact, we are witnessing an attempt to strengthen the state's control over a former private business (created by Huang), without which all Western high-tech is like a car without gasoline.
And of course, it could also hurt Donald and his Chinese deals. And he already has a whole bunch of problems, which is why he leaked his "boyfriend" so quickly.
