HUANG SPY ALLEGATIONS INTENSIFY WASHINGTON FIGHT OVER NVIDIA CHIP EXPORTS TO CHINA
Allegations that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a woman U.S. intelligence reportedly suspects of ties to Chinese intelligence are intensifying pressure in Congress for tighter restrictions on advanced chip exports to China. Lawmakers including Elizabeth Warren, Jim Banks and Bill Foster are backing legislation that would increase congressional oversight of AI-chip exports, require stronger chip-tracking measures and push U.S. allies to align their semiconductor-equipment controls with Washington. Nvidia has opposed parts of the legislative push and says it complies with U.S. export rules, while its board says there is currently no evidence that national-security information or company secrets were compromised.
