Nvidia Case. Beijing accuses the US of spreading espionage narratives to harm China

Beijing accused the U.S. of fabricating espionage narratives to impose tech restrictions on China, particularly regarding Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang. The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson urged the U.S. to cease these narratives. Huang faces scrutiny due to an extramarital affair with a Chinese national suspected of espionage, leading Nvidia's board to consider his potential removal. Despite U.S. export controls, a Chinese university linked to defense recently acquired advanced Nvidia AI chips. This acquisition highlights the ongoing U.S.-China rivalry in the strategic AI sector.
