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.

Not necessarily untoward from a national security point of view - but he’s admitted to the affair. (Gift link: https://giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/d8a218...)

The punishment for the cover-up often exceeds that for the crime.

We don’t have evidence around whether Huang is compromised with China. We do have compelling evidence that he tried to minimize fall-out, or potentially even sweep under the rug the problem, after finding out the true identity of this woman. If he did it with Trump, that’s corruption in service of a national-security compromise.

No, Jensen has admitted in a memo to employees he had an affair.

Yes, but they aren't investing him because he was "targetted" in the abstract. They're investigating him because the operation was extremely successful.

Dude was literally fucking a spy. As it were.
