The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that China has rejected accusations of spying on Nvidia boss Jensen Huang, amid concerns that the scandal could jeopardize the AI-driven stock market surge and fragile trade truce between Beijing and Washington. The Globe's James Griffiths reports that Mr. Huang apologized for an extramarital affair after reports suggested his lover might be linked to Chinese intelligence, prompting calls for a Congressional investigation. On Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun dismissed claims of Chinese spying as "groundless speculation and slander." Economist Intelligence head Nick Marro says the Nvidia case could be an inflection point due to its central role in the global artificial intelligence boom. Mr. Marro notes that even prior to the spy scandal, there was already discussion of further tightening export controls and other types of investment, "which would limit Nvidia and maybe potentially other companies in their space from doing business with Chinese counterparts based on fears that these espionage activities are not just a lot more pronounced than had been understood, but also potentially there are more of them happening in other companies as well."
