Jensen Huang, 63, has been called the 'Taylor Swift of tech' in the US
The tech world has spent the day digesting the extraordinary news that Jensen Huang - the charismatic, leather-jacket wearing chief executive of the multi-trillion dollar firm Nvidia - is being investigated by his own company over an extramarital affair with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy.
Huang's alleged romantic affair with Alice Huang (no relation), the former CEO of a Singapore-based data centre company, has cast ripples far beyond his immediate family - undoubtedly on an emotional rollercoaster of their own - taking us to a crossroads at which technology, geopolitics and national security intersect.
In a nutshell, this is about the bitter rivalry between the US and China, as well as whether Jensen Huang has betrayed the US as well as his wife.
The US is locked in a fierce race with China to develop the best AI models.
