US commerce secretary faces sack as warnings emerge about alleged Chinese spy’s ties to Jensen Huang and delays in adding Megaspeed to trade blacklist
One of Donald Trump’s top lieutenants reportedly could soon be fired, as criticism mounts over commerce secretary Howard Lutnick’s apparent lack of action over the Nvidia spying scandal.
Jensen Huang resigned from Nvidia on Thursday, and was replaced on an interim basis by chief financial officer, Colette Kress, after reports emerged of his multiple affairs, most importantly with Alice Huang (no relation), who is suspected of being a Chinese spy.
Pressure is mounting on Lutnick after it emerged that a US intelligence report about Huang’s relationship with the alleged spy was circulated among senior figures in the Trump administration.

Howard Lutnick Fucks children and protects America’s enemies.
I’m fairly sure those are hard requirements to be a cabinet member in this administration actually.
We can EXCUSE child Fucking but we DRAW the Line at CHYNA!
-LITERALLY Republicans!
I can’t not pronounce his name as “Nut Lick” in my head when I see his name in print.
All of Canada calls him Nutlick.
Most of the US does too
Huang probably did consumers a favor in the long term. The trade restrictions were about building a soft monopoly for a handful of AI companies.
It wasn’t a lack of action. It was all intentional, doing nothing can be the action.
Didn’t donnie sell a lot of stock of Nvidia back in August?
I’m starting to think Lutnick didn’t pay his protection money.
Article 7: All organizations and citizens shall support, assist, and cooperate with national intelligence efforts in accordance with law, and shall protect national intelligence work secrets they are aware of.
Trusting ambitious Chinese citizens is like trusting an American corporation. Our governments are big, the things they want can be small, why would the average person say no?
“Chinese spy” is a silly narrative but it’s even sillier to have a government say “I get to do this” and just… ignore it.
