China rejects spy allegation linked to Nvidia CEO

BEIJING, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun on Monday rejected an allegation of Chinese spying following media reports that Nvidia had opened a probe into its CEO Jensen Huang after he acknowledged an affair with a woman U.S. officials say was working for Chinese intelligence.

"The so-called Chinese spy allegation is groundless. It is nothing but a smear against China," Guo said at a regular news briefing when asked to comment on the reports.
