It’s presumably no coincidence that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s admitted affair, with a Chinese woman who is a lobbyist for a company called Megaspeed, is being “exposed” one week before the likely “summit” meeting at APEC among Presidents Xi, Putin, and Trump. The woman, Alice Huang (no relation), is being described in U.S. media as a spy for China. The affair is admitted, but Alice Huang’s alleged spying is merely that—suddenly alleged. The allegation originated from an unnamed source in the Wall Street Journal, who allegedly said that the spying allegation came from a second unnamed source in Singapore.

Megaspeed is a Singapore-based company involved in building data centers, and, recently, in purchasing advanced semiconductor “chips” from Nvidia, which neo-Cons think Chinese customers should be banned from buying.

Jensen Huang is an advocate of freer trade with China in semiconductors and rare earths, including the semiconductors of his own company. He has been instrumental during previous visits to China with other tech entrepreneurs, in holding off U.S. direct bans on sales of any chips to China.
