U.S. intelligence reportedly concluded Alice Huang was a Chinese intelligence asset, and reports say she is the woman Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with. Nvidia's board says it has no reason to believe secrets or national security were compromised, so I ask retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke how anyone could tell whether China used the affair to get inside the company.

One report says an intelligence memo described her assignment as including pushing Huang to argue for looser export rules on chips. Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, had been a top executive at Megaspeed, which bought billions of dollars in Nvidia chips. Huang first described his interactions with her as normal business.

Robin, former chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, explains what would separate espionage from an affair, whether a casual conversation could hand a foreign government something valuable, and whether the FBI would ever ask someone being used to keep the contact going. We also get into how investigators get employees to talk when the board says it has confidence in the boss.

Three House committee chairs have asked for a closed-door briefing, and China calls the reports groundless.
