This smells like a hit job on Jensen Huang. Years from now, it'll probably come out that Alice Huang wasn't a spy for China and the whole Kimberly affair was a setup. Of course, by then, no one will care about the truth.

Who cares now? It is entertaining, but caring about something and being entertained by something are not equivalent.

Wdym “who cares about the truth” when you are speculating without any source? Is that not ironic?
Who needs evidence when we have wild baseless speculation from HN commenters?
Copied from WSJ (https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/a-mystery-businessman-introduced...):
U.S. officials believe that China’s intelligence services recruited Alice Huang as an asset because of her access to the chip-designer chief

Read between the lines: "believe", we do not have any real evidences, but we believe.
Alice might have to interact with someone from Chinese government ---> that's evidence of being recruited as spy.
Let's forget about the fact that anyone who do business in China (or any country) needs to interact with government employees at some time point.
On Nov 8th, the board stated that "no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised".
OK, looks like this spy story was not power enough (as we do not have evidence), let's use another one: an internal affair. Maybe two lies will do the job.
