there are many sound positions that are illegal, so it's kind of irrelevant

Hold on here ..

If Nvidia was skirting the law, then they should held accountable for that.

If Nvidia merely held a position that the particular law is, say, counter-productive and lobbied against it (but followed it) - what's illegal about that?

in corporate america haha

But had he paid his Trump tax? Perhaps he’s not one of the elect!

Has anybody argued against your second point? Feels like a straw man.

Are we calling her a "Chinese agent" because her business smuggled chips into China or because anyone believes she was a trained intelligence operative? Does being monetarily incentivized to do business with China make her an agent?

Reported claims from US and Taiwanese officials is that she was working as an asset for China’s Ministry of State Security and providing them information... not simply doing business for her own company.

There is a lot of different ways that one can be an "asset" it could be as simple as giving information about who in east Asia is buying their legitimately purchased chips so that Chinese firms can try to buy or rent them. That would be very different from if as some have suggested she is a handler for Jensen.

> Nvidia's position on the export ban was sound. The export ban does not make sense

Jensen had the ear of the President. He could have lobbied this properly.

Doing so by obscuring Nvidia’s Singapore business, failing to apply for an export license to Megaspeed, corruptly quashing a Commerce investigation into Megaspeed, all while sleeping with its leader who turned out to be a Chinese spy, and then only coming clean when the Congress flipped…I don’t know how he could have flipped the bird stronger at the American people.

> corruptly quashing a Commerce investigation into Megaspeed

I'm squarely blaming the federal admin for this. Lutnick and Rubio both knew about this way ahead of time, and their negligence is what ended up screwing the American people over. Removing Jensen doesn't prevent this corruption, it just shuffles the blame around.

> I'm squarely blaming the federal admin for this

Everyone is. It's increasingly clear the administration helped Nvidia break the law [1].

But this is how corruption works. The mobster pays off the mayor to let him break the law. That doesn't mean they aren't both breaking the law.

> t just shuffles the blame around. Huang became the fall guy for corruption at a ludicrous scale

Fall guy implies innocence and the end of the line for blame. Neither looks likely with this case. Jensen wasn't innocent. And there is is bipartisan fury starting with Lutnick.

> while Donald Trump ponders installing Tim Cook (?)

I think he got this idea from a joke Kara Swisher made. In the end, Trump would love nothing more than for a media circus around Jensen's succession to distract from the above.

>The export ban does not make sense. In fact, it is counterproductive because it closes a huge market to Nvidia and makes China less reliant on US Tech - forcing them to accelerate development of homegrown GPU business.

Could you tell China this? Because they seem to not agree at all, given what we are seeing
