China's Foreign Ministry has dismissed as slander remarks by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about an alleged affair with a Chinese spy, infohub.kz reports.
It was previously reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to a relationship with a woman who is allegedly a Chinese spy. In a letter said to be addressed to employees, he confessed to cheating on his wife.
Huang also said that Nvidia's board of directors had launched an independent investigation into alleged national security concerns that may have been triggered by the CEO's affair with the suspected Chinese spy.
"I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company, and I am committed to protecting Nvidia and supporting America's national security," he wrote.
However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun called the claims about a Chinese spy slander.
"We have already responded on this matter. Claims about so-called Chinese espionage are entirely unfounded speculation and slander," the diplomat said.
