Summary of article:
China Post reported that Huang Renxun’s relationship with a Chinese female spy could affect Huida’s governance, US-China relations, and trust in the AI industry and could trigger investigations by the board of directors and Congress.
Washington Post According to the 10th report, artificial intelligence (AI) chip giant Nvidia (Huida, also translated as Nvidia) and its CEOJen-Hsun Huang (Jensen Huang) fueled the AI development craze, promoted the booming stock market, and promoted the construction of data centers. Huang Jensen had an affair with a Chinese womandetective The storm of love can cause financial worries.
Reports indicate that Jen-Hsun Huang, who once helped redesign the US policy towards China, claimed during a phone call with President Trump on the 9th that she did not know that the person she had an affair with was a spy. Huang Renxun is at the core of the artificial intelligence industry and strongly advocates that the United States should ease restrictions on exporting chips to major technology rivals. Huang’s suggestions have been adopted since Trump took office for the second time.
Ben Buchanan, a White House special adviser on artificial intelligence during former President Joe Biden’s tenure, said that Huida’s powerful chips are important for the development of AI and can be called the “lifeline” of the global artificial intelligence industry.
“It is no exaggeration to say that Jensen Huang is one of the most important people in the world and one of the most important people in the artificial intelligence industry,” said Buchanan, who currently serves as an advisor to Huda Partners’ artificial intelligence startup Anthropic.
HUIDA’s board of directors has launched an investigation, and congressmen from both parties have called for a congressional investigation of Huang. The entire turmoil not only concerns Huang Renxun’s position at Huida, but may also affect the economic fortunes of AI and bilateral relations between the United States and China as they compete for the future of artificial intelligence.
Technology industry analyst Dan Ives said Huida has no real succession plan and the prospect of vacancies at the top is a scary prospect for investors. He said that Huang is to some extent irreplaceable.
After Trump returns to the White House in 2025, Huang Renxun will try to build a coalition. Trump and Huang Jen-hsun met for the first time in January 2025. At that time, Huida was subject to tightening export controls for several years in a row, and the sale of chips to China was restricted. Huang soon became close to Trump, attending a fundraising dinner at Mar-a-Lago and becoming a frequent guest at various Trump administration events. Huang Renxun announced that HUIDA will invest billions in expanding factories in the United States to cooperate with Trump’s policy of creating more manufacturing jobs. When the Trump administration approved the sale of Huida chips to China, the agreement included an unusual clause: The government would take a cut of the sale profits.
In October 2025, Huang Renxun said that Huida would donate to Trump’s White House banquet hall project. According to Hua Post reporting at the time, Huida donated 25 million yuan and only four companies had donated such an amount.
The report reported that Trump understood that Huida’s contributions were indispensable as the stock market reached record highs during his second term. Huang Renxun once told the media that he met Trump the day after Huida’s market value reached 4 trillion for the first time, and Trump seemed very happy.
However, Huang advocated selling products to countries that many in Washington consider longtime enemies of the United States and criticized those who called for a ban on chip exports. As a result, he attracted opposition in Washington’s political arena.
Buchanan said, “It is not in the national interest of the United States to sell advanced technology to China when there are a large number of willing buyers in the United States and other democratic countries.”
Buchanan said that although Huida is at the core of the AI ecosystem, it should not hinder a broader investigation into Huang Renxun’s relationship with the female spy.
Ike Harris, founder of the Frontier Security Institute, a nonprofit independent think tank, said Huida’s strategy of relying heavily on CEOs is extremely risky. “Even the most talented people will make mistakes. It’s human nature.”
