Or was the plan just to publicly humiliate him in hopes he'd get replaced by someone less capable?

That's the point of an investigation. We don't know, but will find out.
If the woman was in fact a CCP spy, and I have no idea if that is actually the case, it would absolutely not have been a plan only for humiliation.
If a country successfully compromises a foreign asset in such a major way they'd lean on that as hard as they can, and that'd mean carefully planning various strategies to extract information from the asset.
A lot of this sort of espionage is carried out without a specific end goal.
The purpose is just to cultivate a relationship that can be exploited if the opportunity to do so presents itself.
Watch him enter his PIN and extract mails while he's in the shower.
Suck information out of him with years of military academy training.
Just listen in on phone calls when you happen to be nearby.
The possibilities are endless.

Cute, but don't we already have a term for when lies are used to obtain sexual consent?
what is with the set of people who will just glaze powerful people constantly, no matter the circumstance?
Jensen is gonna be ok without you trolls. relax.
I hope bossman sees your uncritical support!
Definitely blackmailed, sextorted for sensitive information about Nvidia.
Either he was going to admit it or the other side would have leaked it. Jensen ruined it for himself regardless.
The plan from the other side (spies) was likely to leak this, and get Lori Huang to file a divorce to take half of Jensen's NVDA shares.
So it is all up to her now.

“U.S. officials last year concluded that Chinese citizen Alice Huang, then a top executive at Megaspeed International, was sharing information with the Chinese government while working with Nvidia to build data centers in Asia” [1].
It could be as simple as getting the CEO to override controls when signing a deal. It could be any of the perks one gets with physical access to a person and their devices.
And we know there are police reports and investigations in multiple countries. We also know this administration has been, corruptly or negligently, quashing them.
