China targets everyone of consequence, of course they targeted Jensen.
This may be a 'game of thrones' nefarious move by hostile foreign or domestic parties who want to wrest defacto control, perhaps angle to put their puppet in control, or otherwise leverage Nvidia by taking down its Founder and CEO.
It is completely unproven and should not be assumed that Jensen nor Nvidia took part in anything untoward at all. Historically, Jensen doesn't do stupid. So whether you like him or not, I do not believe he would be that stupid.
The better question would be who is leaking classified US intelligence in an attempt to blackmail Jensen Huang and/or destroy the US's most valuable AI infrastructure asset?
The attack isn't coming from China. It is coming from the NY Times, FT, and presumably some employees of the CIA who are committing felonies.
…for possibly being the target of a foreign intelligence operation. I don’t think they are trying to say he himself was intentionally doing something bad.
Not intentionally, but falling for a honey trap while cosplaying as a playboy is not a good look for an exec. Huang just showing he's a bit of a child at the wheel.
It’s interesting one sees so many cases of intelligence services using female agents to target men in this way.
Why doesn’t it happen the other way around as much? Why don’t you see intelligence services using male agents to target powerful women in a similar way as much?
This one is good, I'll grant this an honorable mention. My instinct here is to say that serial unmarried "bachelors" / IVF enthusiasts don't count in the same way as a Jensen or a bank CEO type.
What a sticky situation to be in. it was strange to see the Nvidia spokespeople so outwardly supportive of the arrangement between them at first. I remember reading that they said the US government would have let them know if she was a threat. Also probably doesn't feel the best to be his wife or family right now. Hope this doesn't spell more problems for them politically. But if it does, it's probably warranted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
they’re setting in motion a plan to get a divorce judge to order the selling of their shares before the bubble bursts
making an otherwise prohibited transaction to be legal
I don’t think that was totally planned during the affair, but the opportunity arised with the election and created a reason for Jensen to admit it so decisively after everyone knows she was a spy
Or was the plan just to publicly humiliate him in hopes he'd get replaced by someone less capable?
Either he was going to admit it himself or the other side would have leaked it.
The plan was likely to leak this, and get Lori Huang to file a divorce to take 50% of Jensen's NVDA shares.
Or as Charlie Munger put it: There are only three ways a smart person can go broke: Liquor, ladies, and leverage.“

Maybe the title should be changed?
> “I was unfaithful to my wife,” he said. “My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did.”
