This is NPR News Now. The latest headlines every hour. Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corvik Holman. Big tech company Nvidia has just announced that its CEO Jensen Huang is stepping down.
This comes after Huang admitted to an affair. News reports say that affair was with an alleged Chinese spy. NPR has not confirmed that report. NPR's John Ruich has more.
The decision follows a flurry of reports from the New York Times and others alleging that Huang had had an extramarital affair with an executive at NVIDIA, and a separate one with a client, who U.S. intelligence officials believed was recruited by China's government to spy on him.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (4 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
