## Key points

- The column warns that tech leaders may underestimate security risks.
- Huang lobbied for Nvidia chip sales to China.
- Trump later allowed certain sales with a 15 per cent revenue share.

## Summary

The column argues that Nvidia chief Jensen Huang’s reported involvement with a woman identified by US intelligence as a Chinese spy highlights the security risks created when powerful technology executives underestimate personal and national security threats. It links that concern to the Trump administration’s close ties with tech leaders and its decisions on advanced chip exports to China.

The article says Huang once described character as central to greatness, yet dismissed whether the US or China wins the AI race and lobbied President Trump to let Nvidia sell chips in China. After an export ban was imposed, Trump reversed course and allowed sales of certain chips, with 15 per cent of the revenue going to the government. The supplied text ends mid-sentence, so it does not provide further details about Huang’s relationship with the woman.
