China has responded to allegations that the businesswoman who had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was an agent of Beijing. Beijing said the United States is fabricating espionage stories to justify imposing a “technology blockade” on China.
“The US side should stop fabricating such espionage stories and using them as a pretext to impose a technology blockade,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a press conference.

The response comes as the scandal involving Jensen Huang has strengthened the position of those in the United States calling for tougher restrictions on chip sales to China. These chips are essential to the race in artificial intelligence.
Mao Ning said China’s scientific and technological development rests on independent innovation and open cooperation. She added that Beijing is willing to work with the United States to implement the consensus reached between the two heads of state.
