Nvidia: honeypot may have been aimed at ‘lobbying Jensen Huang to lobby the US government’

Nvidia ⁠and ​Chief ​Executive Jensen Huang were ​sued ‌on ⁠Monday ‌in ⁠a proposed class ​action accusing ‌them of ‌defrauding ​shareholders by concealing Huang’s ties ​with ​a ​suspected ​Chinese spy. Speaking with FRANCE 24’s Sharon Gaffney, Steve Tsang, Director of the SOAS China Institute, says that the affair “can also be about effectively lobbying Jensen Huang to lobby the US government, because he is a very powerful figure, particularly during the Trump administration, and he, for whatever reason, has been taking a position that is beneficial to Chinese development and advancement of its AI capacity”.
