Scholars believe Trump responded to congressional oversight by “circling Wei and shielding Zhao” and supporting his technology ally Jen-Hsun Huang. However, disputes over his national security and extramarital affairs may cause political violations in government-business relations and China’s chip policy.
Republicans lost the US midterm elections, NvidiaHuida ceoJen-Hsun Huang He was also involved in controversies over national security and extramarital affairs. Analysis by Du Shengkong, Director of the Department of Radio and Television of Taiwan Ming Chuan University, President of the United Statestrump It is trying to use the strategy of “encircling Wei and protecting Zhao” to counter the Democratic Party’s congressional oversight and support its allies in the technology industry. However, the Huang Renxun incident may create a political breach in political and trade relations and China’s chip policy.
Du Shengkong posted on Facebook that after the midterm elections in the United States on November 3, the Republican Party lost its advantage in Congress, and the Democratic Party was preparing to launch an investigation into the Trump administration, covering political and business interests, administrative personnel, and corporate corruption. At the same time, the media revealed that Huang Renxun had close ties to corporate executives who were suspected by US intelligence agencies of being involved in Chinese espionage activities. HUIDA’s board of directors also launched an investigation, putting Trump under dual political and national security pressure.
Du Shengkong described Trump’s response strategy during the Warring States period as “encircling Wei and saving Zhao”. They believed that Trump chose not to directly confront congressional oversight but rather confront the Democratic Party through judicial investigations, turning the controversy from whether the government engaged in improper conflict of interests to whether members of Congress abused their supervisory powers, thereby increasing political costs to his opponents.
They analyzed that Huang Renxun is an important ally of Trump’s technology industry, and the relationship between the two parties includes US-China chip export policies, corporate donations, and White House decision-making. Once the Democratic Party uses the Huang Jen-hsun incident as a breakthrough, the investigation may expand from personal disputes to China’s policies and political and business interests. Trump continues to publicly support Huang Renxun, which Du Shengkong also interpreted as avoiding doubts about the safety of the current economic and trade layout and the validity of the policy.
Du Shengkong pointed out that Trump counterattacked from three fronts: judicial, personnel and diplomacy, including strengthening the White House legal team, adjusting key staff, and making diplomatic negotiations the leading policy area. However, the Jen-Hsun Huang incident involves national security, and even Republican lawmakers have expressed skepticism, which may make it difficult for Trump to portray the investigation as merely a partisan political goal.
Du Shengkong believes that the key to this attack and defense lies in whether the Democratic Party continues to use the investigative powers of Congress and whether the Republican Party remains consistent with Trump on national security issues. The outcome of future investigations by the FBI and HUIDA’s board of directors, the direction of chip export policy, and the Justice Department’s follow-up actions will all influence the political situation.
He emphasized that this is not just a political storm in the United States. Huang Renxun plays an important role in the global AI supply chain. If the science and technology policies of the US and China change as a result, it could also affect Taiwan’s industry and international security layout.
