Latest update (11-11 07:47): Semafor analysis tracks how Jensen Huang shifted his stance on China

Overview: Semafor's analysis of 42 podcast interviews since early 2022 finds Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang became more admiring of China and more critical of export controls after the US restricted Nvidia's made-for-China chip in 2025. Semafor reports that mentions of China in his interviews rose roughly sixfold after those curbs, and that he argued the restrictions hurt the US more than China.

The same Semafor article reports that Nvidia's board hired Wachtell Lipton to investigate Huang's alleged affair with an executive at a Singapore-based data center firm with alleged Beijing ties. The source's evidence for that affair is the report's own; the story does not establish whether the executive is a suspected Chinese spy beyond the article's characterization.
