Beijing has formally denied allegations that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a Chinese spy, characterizing the claims as "pure fabrication out of thin air." That puts a second government on the record in a story that has already moved markets and drawn scrutiny at the board level.
The denial came via a Polymarket post on November 9, 2026, and adds a new layer of geopolitical weight to what began as a corporate governance controversy. With Beijing now publicly pushing back, the story has crossed from internal boardroom drama into an active diplomatic dimension.

The allegations had already knocked 5% off Nvidia's stock price before China's statement, and an independent board probe into Huang's conduct is reportedly underway. The timing is particularly acute with the company's earnings approaching, meaning investors face compounding uncertainty on two fronts at once.
Whether Beijing's denial defuses or prolongs the controversy is an open question. A formal government rebuttal does not resolve the independent board investigation, so the probe remains a live variable heading into earnings season.
