An opinion piece in The Washington Post argues the 'Huang honey-trap scandal' sends a warning about AI chip export controls.

Craig Singleton, a former U.S. diplomat, is the senior director of the China Program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

On Sunday, Nvidia, the world's leading supplier of advanced artificial intelligence chips, announced an investigation into reports that Chinese intelligence targeted its chief executive, Jensen Huang. Huang, a vocal opponent of U.S. chip-export controls, had an intimate relationship with a former tech industry executive whom U.S. intelligence officials have reportedly identified as a Chinese asset. U.S. authorities separately suspect that her former employer, Megaspeed, a Singapore-based Nvidia customer, helped China obtain restricted chips.
