Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces a board probe into whether he was the target of a foreign intelligence effort after a media report linked him to a Chinese businesswoman accused of passing information to Beijing. The New York Times reported last month that Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, an unrelated former executive of Singapore-based company Megaspeed, who US authorities investigated and concluded was a Chinese intelligence asset. Here is what is known about Huang's background and his pivotal role at chipmaker Nvidia as well as the US scrutiny of Megaspeed and Alice Huang. Who is Jensen Huang? Huang, 63, co-founded Nvidia in 1993 with Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem and has led the company ever since, making him one of Silicon Valley's longest-serving founder CEOs. Born in Taiwan and raised in the US, Huang became one of the most powerful figures in the AI revolution as he transformed Nvidia from a maker of video-game graphics chips into the world's dominant supplier of AI processors. His trademark leather jackets and high-profile product launches have made him one of the few
BEIJING — China's foreign ministry, asked on Monday about Nvidia probing whether CEO Jensen Huang had been the target of a foreign intelligence effort, said the "so-called Chinese spy narrative" is unsubstantiated. Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the comment at a daily news briefing in Beijing.
KYIV — Larysa Ryndova hurried to see her husband as if they were going out on a first date — makeup on and perfume spritzed in the car. It was the first time she had laid eyes on 68-year-old Serhiy in 4-1/2 years — time he had spent trapped with others in the Russian-held town of Oleshky in southern Ukraine. "I can't believe you are here," Larysa, 72, kept repeating, her mascara smudged with tears after they embraced outside a hospital in Kyiv. "Honestly, I can't believe it myself," Serhiy replied. They last saw each other in 2022 when Larysa fled to England to live with their son, three months into the occupation following Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine. Serhiy stayed to look after the family home, ending up stuck in the town peppered with Russian-laid landmines and facing a mounting humanitarian crisis. "We hoped for better. Turned out, it got 'better'," he said sarcastically. Oleshky's residents described living through constant drone attacks and without power and heating. Things got even worse this spring, when food deliveries stopped. Serhiy got out on October 30 with hundr
President Donald Trump in his first major interview since his party lost control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections said he thinks his administration was too aggressive on deportations and that he thinks he can work with Democrats in the new Congress on some kind of immigration deal. Trump said his deportation policy was part of the reason Republicans lost, telling CBS’s “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired on Sunday: “I think it might be too tough, yeah.” He added that he thinks he could reach an agreement with the new Democratic majority. “The deal would be we would work something out. And I think it’s something -- I think that’s something that’s actually doable,” he said in the interview. Trump did not give specifics about what that deal would look like — and shortly after taping the interview on Friday, Trump named the key architect of his hard-line immigration agenda, Stephen Miller, as his new chief of staff. “Trump says his immigration crackdown went too far,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer scoffed on social media Sunday after the
WARSAW — A young gunman who killed six people in central Krakow on Saturday in Poland's unprecedented mass shooting has died in hospital, police said early on Monday. Very little information has come out about the shooter, who was shot by police officers and arrested minutes after he opened fire at people at Krakow's historic main square from his car. The government said the assailant, a 24-year-old from Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, a town of just under 60,000 in southeastern Poland, may have been inspired by far-right ideology, without providing further details. "There were many different emblems on the perpetrator’s clothing that have been partially examined and interpreted," Karolina Galecka, an interior ministry spokeswoman, told radio TOK FM on Monday. "These patches were associated with various motifs that are currently being analyzed by specialists," she added, declining to comment further as the investigation is ongoing.
