China denies US claim woman in Nvidia CEO affair is spy

The espionage allegation lands at an awkward moment, with a leaders' summit in Shenzhen on the calendar, so the story's weight is diplomatic as much as corporate. Nvidia's own investigation into Huang is the nearer-term variable: its scope and any findings will shape how much of this stays a governance matter versus a geopolitical one. Beijing's denial was categorical but offered no supporting detail, and the US claim remains unverified in this account. Whether the dispute intrudes on the summit, and how Nvidia frames its probe, are the open questions.
