The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Monday rejected recent reports circulated by certain media outlets that have peddled "Chinese spy” allegations in connection with the personal scandal involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun dismissed the claims as entirely baseless when asked to the matter. “The accusation is unsubstantiated,” Guo stated. “It is nothing but a smear campaign against China.”

His remarks come after the U.S. chip giant Nvidia confirmed on Sunday that it had launched an internal investigation into CEO Jensen Huang. The probe follows Huang’s public admission of an extramarital affair. According to several media reports, U.S. officials have alleged that the woman involved in the relationship was acting on behalf of Chinese intelligence.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry categorically denied any such connection, describing the reports as a malicious and groundless attempt to tarnish China’s reputation. Spokesperson Guo emphasized that such narratives are part of a broader pattern of baseless accusations that seek to stoke unwarranted suspicion and damage bilateral trust between China and the United States.

“China has always adhered to international law and the fundamental norms of international relations. To fabricate so-called ‘spy stories’ in an effort to smear China is both irresponsible and regrettable. He urged the media to exercise professionalism and refrain from spreading unverified and inflammatory allegations.
