Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang may be one of the targets of China's intelligence operation aimed at strengthening the country's technology industry. This is reported by the Wall Street Journal.
According to the publication, Beijing involved government agencies, private companies and citizens in an information-gathering campaign. Its purpose is to obtain technological knowledge for economic development and modernization of the armed forces, as well as strengthening the influence of the Communist Party at home and abroad.
One of the European intelligence agencies estimates that there are about 600,000 people working in intelligence and security in China. This significantly exceeds the capabilities of the American and European intelligence services.
As the source points out, Huang may be of interest to Chinese intelligence due to his proximity to Trump and his ability to influence the US administration's position on chip exports to China.
