Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was reportedly the target of a Chinese intelligence honeypot scheme involving an affair with a suspected Chinese asset linked to China's Ministry of State Security, raising concerns of espionage in the AI semiconductor industry. US intelligence agencies have issued warnings, and Nvidia initiated an internal investigation while China denies the allegations.
