Milan, 13 Nov. (LaPresse) – The US intelligence community is still trying to gain a better understanding of the relationship between the Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang – who had a relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who resigned yesterday – and the Chinese government. This is reported by CNN, citing several sources who say that the information gathered on her to date does not prove that she was acting as a spy on behalf of Beijing. “There is disagreement amongst US officials over the strength of the evidence suggesting that Alice Huang was recruited by the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS), the Chinese equivalent of the CIA, to spy on Jensen Huang and, by extension, US policymakers,” reports CNN, adding that the FBI has been investigating Huang’s relationship for at least a year. On Thursday, Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that “neither the Department of Justice, nor I, nor FBI Director Patel have reached any conclusion as to who she is or is not”.
