Do you really think there is no issue with a person in a position of power engaging in an affair with a subordinate?

"Position of power" is a bit of a stretch when we're talking about two high-ranking execs who presumably make tens of millions of dollars. I doubt there's any problem related to consent / coercion here. They just wanted to bonk.

It's a corporate governance problem because the relationship can be seen as tainting personnel decisions. But that's HR optics versus morality.

Note that I'm not defending Huang, but I think he's done for because of the spy thing more than because of this.

Can’t say I’m particularly bothered by it when the subordinate is 48 years old.
