The Chinese Foreign Ministry has denied claims that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was in a relationship with a Chinese intelligence informant. The spokesman of the diplomatic office, Guo Jiakun, said that the Chinese side has already given an answer on this issue.
"The accusations of so-called Chinese espionage are purely baseless speculations and slanders."
Earlier, Nvidia Corporation's board of directors launched an independent investigation into information that Huang had become a target of Chinese intelligence. However, they have no evidence to claim a threat to US security or company secrets.
Axios portal, citing a draft letter from Jensen Huang, reported that the head of the corporation admitted to adultery. He also added that he did not fulfill his obligations towards the employees, the board of directors and the shareholders of the company. Nvidia shares fell 6% in premarket trading today amid the scandal.
