China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the espionage allegations against Jensen Huang, calling them baseless rumors.

At the Foreign Ministry’s regular press conference, spokesperson Guo Jiakun responded to related questions. An AFP reporter asked: “NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang admitted on Sunday to having an extramarital relationship with a woman; the company has launched an internal investigation into the matter. Previously, some U.S. officials claimed this woman was employed by a Chinese intelligence agency—could China comment on this, and could the incident affect the upcoming China-U.S. presidential summit in Shenzhen?” Guo stressed that China had already clearly stated that the so-called “Chinese spy” allegations are entirely baseless, amounting to groundless speculation and malicious slander. When foreign reporters pressed further—asking whether China denies reports claiming the woman works for a Chinese intelligence agency—Guo reiterated: accusations regarding Chinese spies are purely unfounded, defamatory, and smear campaigns.
