Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, is at the center of a high-stakes scandal involving an alleged Chinese spy and a relationship with a former executive of Singapore-based data center firm Megaspeed. He has admitted to infidelity, while Nvidia has launched an independent investigation into whether he was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.

The Economist argues that his position is now untenable, saying he should resign or be dismissed. The editorial warns that his push for looser chip export rules and his support for Chinese open-source models will now face intense scrutiny, especially as U.S. authorities investigate whether advanced Nvidia chips were smuggled to China.

The controversy raises urgent questions about corporate governance, national security, and the accountability of leaders at companies critical to U.S. strategic interests. The magazine also criticizes the U.S. Commerce Department for failing to block advanced chip flows to China despite mounting suspicions.
