Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was introduced to the alleged Chinese spy by her husband Kang Wei, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing friends of the couple.
According to the newspaper's interlocutors, for two years apparently Kang Wei did not object to his wife's affair and spoke openly about her intimacy with Jensen Huang. Sometimes he half-jokingly called her the personal assistant to the head of Nvidia.
According to the WSJ, the couple sought out the most profitable niches — from video games and pharmaceuticals to cloud computing, building complex corporate networks to raise capital. According to the newspaper, it was thanks to the foundation's activities that Kang Wei met Jensen Huang in the 2010s. At the time, Nvidia focused on video game chips.
Nvidia declined to comment on this matter. The publication was unable to contact Kang Wei and Alice Huang. US intelligence agencies call Alice Huang a Chinese agent, but Beijing denies espionage.
