The US intelligence community is still working to understand the relationship between a Chinese businesswoman who had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and the Chinese government, with multiple sources telling CNN that the intelligence collected on her to date does not prove that she was acting as a spy for Beijing.

There is disagreement among US officials about the strength of the evidence that Alice Huang was recruited by the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS), the Chinese equivalent of the CIA, to spy on Jensen Huang — and, by extension, on US policymakers.

The FBI has been investigating Huang’s affair for at least a year. But Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Thursday that there are still “no conclusions reached by the Department of Justice, or by me, or by [FBI] Director Patel around who she is or is not.” President Donald Trump also hedged Thursday on whether the US had determined she was a spy, when commentator Stephen A. Smith asked whether Huang was right to have stepped down as CEO.

LOL yes of course... she is a spy with a vested interest in circumventing US law to buy chips from NVIDIA... but maybe she was off the clock when she happened to fall in love with the head of the biggest chip designer

I guess love just finds a way...

    Imagine if it all started as a grift to smuggle chips, but over time they built true love and now their relationship is blowing up publicly. That could make a great rom-com-tragedy biopic a few years from now.

    Not Disney -- Hallmark!

    He's a business man from the big city getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of investing in startups that buy his chips to inflate his share price. It's all getting to be too much, so he travels to a small town in China to get away from it all. He meets a small town business woman who also makes chips but somehow wears a flannel shirt and speaks in a folksy manner. She teaches him the true meaning of love, sharing technology, and Christmas.
