- The article links the warning to allegations involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
- Winkler says corporate espionage often aims for long-term access, not blackmail.

## Summary

Experts warn that foreign intelligence services are using business relationships and personal connections to gain sustained access to American technology executives. The warning is prompted by reports alleging that Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang had an extramarital relationship with Alice Huang, whom US intelligence identified as a Chinese intelligence asset; the article presents these claims as reports, not established findings.

Former NSA analyst Ira Winkler says espionage efforts can exploit professional networking to seek information, influence decisions and circumvent export restrictions. He describes the alleged relationship as a possible route to long-term access, while saying he doubts it involved extortion. The article gives no further details about the reported relationship or the intelligence assessment.
