Nvidia probe 'to impact the whole of the world'

Newsfirst and Hiru News report that US President Donald Trump said the FBI is investigating an alleged affair involving Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang and a person described as a suspected Chinese spy. Newsfirst also reports that Trump said he spoke with Huang on Monday after reports that US officials believed Huang had been targeted in Chinese espionage; the report excerpts do not provide the date of that conversation.

Ada Derana and Hiru News report that Nvidia’s board is preparing, or may be preparing, to remove Huang as CEO amid the allegations. The reports give no further detail about any board decision or timetable. A separate Hiru News headline says Huang was reported to have had a relationship with an Nvidia executive who reports to him, but gives no additional account.

Hiru News reports that China rejected espionage claims involving Huang. Other Hiru News headlines say the allegations drew sympathy and disbelief in Huang’s birthplace, Taiwan, and that US lawmakers were pushing for rules on chip-related matters involving China; the available reports provide no further specifics.
