Lawmakers summon Nvidia CEO to discuss alleged ties to chinese spy

Jensen Huang, the Chief Executive Officer of Nvidia, has been requested by three Republican committee chairs in the House of Representatives to provide a private briefing to Congress. The inquiry centers on his reported connections to Alice Huang, a businesswoman who has been accused of acting as a spy for China. The request originated from Representatives Brian J. Mast (R-Fla.), John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), and Rick Crawford (R-Ark.). These members asked Huang to appear before the committees they lead: Foreign Affairs, the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and the Select Committee on Intelligence. In response to the scrutiny, Nvidia issued a statement asserting that interactions with customers are a standard part of a CEO's duties, noting that Huang speaks with thousands of customer executives annually. The matter has drawn increased attention to the CEO's alleged relationship with Alice Huang, as reported by the New York Times.
