The news will be well received in Beijing.

In a post the other day, I wondered if the saga could end up being a double victory for China. The first win would have been anything Beijing gained as a direct result of the Nvidia CEO’s relationship with Alice Huang (no relation), a suspected Chinese spy. The second would be if the scandal itself damaged Nvidia, and the fallout from that.
