Asian governments react to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s exit

Jensen Huang's departure from Nvidia has drawn a range of responses across Asia, with some governments moving to confirm chip supply commitments, while others are monitoring the impact on local projects or addressing ongoing investigations. On Sunday, November 8, Nvidia's board launched an independent investigation after reports that Huang was targeted by a Chinese spy operation; Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based chip company Megaspeed. Nvidia's influence extends far beyond the United States. The chip giant has built close ties with companies worldwide, particularly in Asia, where many of its key partners play important roles in the global AI industry.
