China says US'fabricating' Nvidia spy claims to justify tech'blockade' Share China says US'fabricating' Nvidia spy claims to justify tech'blockade' on social media China has urged the United States to stop "fabricating so-called spy narratives and using them as a pretext for imposing a technological blockade", amid national security concerns that emerged over an affair involving Nvidia's CEO. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning made the comments at a press briefing on Thursday when asked about allegations that the woman with whom Nvidia's Jensen Huang had a relationship was a Chinese spy. US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to ease tariffs and lift restrictions on tech to de-escalate tensions following tit-for-tat tariffs in a trade deal in Busan, South Korea. The remarks come ahead of a meeting next week between Trump and Xi at the APEC gathering in Shenzhen, southern China. Huang, who co-founded Nvidia and turned it into the world's leading supplier of the chips that power artificial intelligence (AI), has admitted to having an extramarital affair.
