Espionage allegations against Jensen Huang questioned

The US is reconsidering espionage charges against Jensen Huang, brought by his alleged mistress, Alice Huang. Journalists are urging caution in concluding he spied for China due to a lack of compelling evidence.

The case of physicist Anming Hu serves as a striking example of such intelligence errors. The scientist was fired from his university and pursued by the FBI for nearly two years on suspicion of ties to Chinese intelligence.

• A key basis for suspicion was an incorrect translation of a Chinese text using Google Translate.

This precedent shows how technical errors can lead to unfounded accusations and serious consequences for the reputation and careers of scientists. In Jensen Huang's case, the situation remains unclear, and evidence of espionage is currently absent.
