The Guardian reported that American officials monitored the executive because she was previously suspected of smuggling Nvidia chips into China. Investigators found that she had built a close relationship with Jensen Huang while doing business with him, while also passing intelligence to officials in Beijing, as reported by the New York Times and Tom's Hardware.
