US tech giant Nvidia has opened an independent investigation following reports its CEO Jensen Huang had a relationship with a suspected Chinese spy.

The company, one of the most valuable in the world, says its board has no reason to believe Nvidia’s secrets or national security were compromised.

US intelligence officials believe Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, who had a close relationship with Jensen Huang, was a spy for Beijing, according to the New York Times.

Huang has separately admitted to having been “unfaithful” to his wife and apologised for hurting her and their children.

US President Donald Trump says he has not spoken to the Nvidia boss since news of the investigation emerged.

“I just know he’s a fine person, but you never know what’s going on,” Trump told reporters late on Sunday, adding that he had “done an amazing job for our country”.

From informants and covert networks to claims of sabotage and assassination, the war between Russia and Ukraine is increasingly being fought far from the battlefield.

Much of that shadow conflict is difficult to verify but BBC Eye has gained rare access to Russians who claim they’re helping Ukraine by carrying out operations inside Russia. The BBC has confirmed they are working for Ukrainian intelligence, but has not been able to independently verify the operations they say they’ve played a role in.

For BBC World Service, this documentary is voiced by actress Saskia Reeves.
