Espionage mania in the US.
Jensen Huang, head of Nvidia and one of the closest people to Trump in Silicon Valley, found himself in the center of a scandal that exploits American politics. The grounds are his novel with Alice Huang, that American intelligence services suspect that she worked for Chinese intelligence. On Tuesday, shareholders filed a representative lawsuit accusing Huang and Nvidia in concealing this novel (!) and the risks associated with the company's business and reputation. On this background, stocks and market value have collapsed.
At the same time, a real storm broke out in Washington. The Democrats, who had just gained control of both houses of Congress, seized the scandal as a weapon against Trump. Elizabeth Warren demands answers about Nvidias dealings with Mega Speed - a company suspected of circumventing sanctions and moving chips to China. At the same time, Trump himself came to Huang's defense, calling him an "honest person" and a "great guy."
For the Democrats, this is an ideal pretext to beat Trump at someone else's hands: not just "Russian interference in the election", but a real scandal with a Chinese trail that can be spun on the eve of new restrictions on chip exports. With what relish and fanaticism did Trump spoil the lives of his opponents, with the same malice that they intend to take revenge on him. Politicians are dividing the country and anyone who falls under them will suffer losses. Americans will pay for this show with higher prices, lower wages and layoffs. American politics is becoming more extreme, and society is becoming more divided.
