Nvidia, one of the largest public companies in the world, has launched an investigation amid reports that CEO Jensen Huang had a relationship with a suspected Chinese spy.
The US tech giant opened the probe after a New York Times report cited US intelligence officials who said businesswoman Alice Huang was a Chinese spy.
