China has rejected allegations linking Beijing to an alleged espionage case involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, calling the claims baseless. The state-run newspaper Global Times accused American media of creating a spy narrative around Huang's admitted extramarital affair. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun also dismissed the allegations as an attempt to smear China. The controversy follows reports that Alice Huang, a Chinese business executive, was suspected by US intelligence of gathering information for Beijing. Nvidia's board has launched an independent investigation into the matter but said it has no reason to believe company secrets or national security were compromised. (PC: HT)
