As noted in the comments, Jensen Huang, head of Nvidia, committed infidelity (according to the WSJ) or was in a close relationship (according to the Guardian) or an affair (WashPo, following Huang’s mea culpa). I’m wondering if the Guardian wants to avoid sex-shaming by using ‘close relationship’, or if it is something else?
At the risk of diving into the deep end of the conspiracy pool, the NYT reported last month about this and that US intelligence was aware of the problem last year, but Trump ignored it, which makes the timing of all this interesting. Someone(s) thinking that now’s a good time? Or Huang is clearing the decks so as not to get swamped by the blue tsunami? Or something else?
It is quite interesting to me that there have been a lot of accusations against Democrats about being subject to Chinese interest. Just to throw out the names, Eric Swalwell, Tim Walz, Dianne Feinstein and her husband Richard Blum, all had scrutiny directed on them. On the other hand, Elaine Chao, wife of Mitch McConnell and former Secretary of Transportation, also was subject to a NYT piece discussing her and her father’s ties to the PRC, but I don’t think they got any of the attention as the people above.
Any interesting links or bad puns are welcome.
“being subject to Chinese interest” != “being a Chinese asset”
Unless you’re writing for FTFNYT, of course.
Trump, the anti-American subhuman, praised the set of Huang’s ass.
