Jensen Huang – the CEO of Nvidia, one of the world’s most valuable public companies – has just admitted to having an affair. Huang has not named the other party, but the papers are reporting it was Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence officials suspect of commercial espionage on behalf of the Chinese government.
The media are obsessing over the salacious details of the affair, but the scandal is about much more than a personal lapse in judgement from one of the world’s most powerful men. It reveals a great deal about how the U.S. maintains its dominance over the world economy – and China’s attempts to subvert it.
