NVIDIA CORP CEO Jensen Huang is drawing disbelief and sympathy in his birthplace Taiwan following reports of an affair with a woman suspected of ties to China. The scrutiny comes as both corporate investigators and the United States FBI probe whether the executive was targeted by foreign intelligence. Any leadership disruption could threaten the chip giant's multi-billion-dollar AI strategy and foundry relationships with partners like TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFAC (TSMC).
