[Silicon Valley, Beijing Current Affairs] On the 8th, Nvidia's board of directors announced that it would launch an investigation after reports that the CEO of US semiconductor giant Nvidia had been the subject of espionage activities by female operatives of Chinese intelligence agencies.

A committee of independent directors will oversee the investigation. In a statement, the board said there is no basis to believe that U.S. national security or Nvidia's confidential information has been compromised at this time.

In an email to employees, Huang apologized, saying, ``I was unfaithful to my wife.'' "We will work hard to regain the trust of our employees," he said.

"The claim that he is a so-called 'Chinese spy' is a completely baseless speculation and slander," Guo Jiakun, deputy spokesperson of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a press conference on the 9th.
