華盛頓,11 月 9 日(路透)—— 美國總統唐納・川普週一表示,美國聯邦調查局(FBI)正在調查輝達執行長黃仁勳與一名中國女商人的婚外情;該名女子被指稱是北京方面的間諜。WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump said on Monday the FBI was looking into Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to be a spy for Beijing.
黃仁勳是川普在矽谷最親近的盟友之一。川普表示,他對有關黃仁勳的指控「感到驚訝」。川普說,他已與這位執行長談過,對方向他表示,自己完全不知道那名女子是間諜。Trump said he "was amazed" by allegations about Huang, among the president's closest allies in Silicon Valley. Trump said he had spoken to the CEO, who told him that he had no idea that the woman was a spy.
川普說:「我知道 FBI 正在調查這件事。」他並補充說:「我認為他會沒事的。」"I know the FBI is looking into it," Trump said. "I think that he'll be in good shape," he added.
輝達董事會啟動內部調查,以釐清黃仁勳是否成為外國情報行動的目標後,輝達股價週一收盤下跌逾 4%。Nvidia shares closed down more than 4% on Monday after the company's board launched an internal investigation into whether Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.
這項週日宣布的調查,使 63 歲黃仁勳的未來成為焦點。輝達是全球市值最高的晶片製造商,而黃仁勳也是 AI 熱潮中最具能見度的推銷者。黃仁勳告訴輝達員工,他曾對妻子不忠,但未透露這段關係的細節。The probe, announced on Sunday, has put a spotlight on 63-year-old Huang's future given Nvidia's status as the world's most valuable chipmaker and the CEO's role as the most prolific salesman of the AI boom. Huang told Nvidia's employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife, without disclosing details of the relationship.
常穿皮衣的黃仁勳在全球享有搖滾明星般的地位,亞洲尤其如此。他經常自在地與粉絲互動,與熱情追隨者自拍並簽名。The leather-jacketed Huang enjoys rock-star status worldwide, particularly in Asia, where he often mingles freely with fans, taking selfies and signing autographs for his devoted followers.
根據倫敦證券交易所集團(LSEG)資料,黃仁勳是輝達第五大股東,持股約 3.6%。他透過一種異常扁平的組織架構牢牢掌控公司,數十名高階主管直接向他匯報。He is Nvidia's fifth-largest shareholder with a roughly 3.6% stake, according to LSEG data, and keeps a tight grip on the company through an unusually flat structure in which dozens of executives report directly to him.
不過,與馬克・祖克柏的 Meta Platforms 或伊隆・馬斯克的 SpaceX 不同,輝達沒有雙重股權結構,無法讓共同創辦人黃仁勳掌握過半投票控制權。But unlike Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms or Elon Musk's SpaceX, Nvidia has no dual-class shares that would give co-founder Huang majority voting control.
《紐約時報》報導,川普曾聽取有關黃仁勳與該名女子關係的簡報,也被告知該女子正在向中國政府提供資訊,而總統選擇不對這項資訊採取行動。The New York Times reported that Trump was briefed on Huang's relationship with the woman and that she was giving information to the Chinese government, and that the president chose not to act on the information.
中國外交部發言人郭嘉昆在北京對記者表示:「所謂中國間諜的說法,完全是毫無根據的指控、誹謗和抹黑。」"The so-called Chinese spy narrative is purely a groundless accusation, slander, and a smear," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun told reporters in Beijing.
黃仁勳與川普的關係,恰逢幾項對輝達有利的政策進展;川普也對黃仁勳大加讚賞,並在 10 月頒給他美國最高科學成就榮譽。Huang's relationship with Trump has coincided with several favorable policy developments for the company, and the president has lavished Huang with praise, awarding him the nation's highest honor for scientific achievement in October.
川普將該獎項頒給黃仁勳的同一天,披露自己在夏季買進最高 160 萬美元、賣出最高 100 萬美元的輝達股票。The same day Trump gave Huang the award, the president disclosed buying up to $1.6 million and selling up to $1 million of Nvidia shares during the summer.
「不是一般執行長」'NOT AN ORDINARY CEO'
輝達表示,董事會對黃仁勳有信心。華爾街許多人認為,黃仁勳是支撐 AI 交易最重要的人物。分析師承認接班問題存在不確定性,但多數人並不預期這項調查會導致這位長期執掌公司的執行長下台。Nvidia said its board has confidence in Huang, thought by many on Wall Street to be the most important person underpinning the AI trade. Analysts acknowledged uncertainty around succession, but most do not expect the investigation to result in the longtime CEO stepping down.
伯恩斯坦(Bernstein)分析師史黛西・拉斯岡(Stacy Rasgon)表示:「輝達不是一家普通公司,Jensen 也不是一般執行長;他就是輝達,顯然由他制定長期策略和方向,而且公司多數事務都由他親自掌控。」"Nvidia is not an ordinary company and Jensen is not an ordinary CEO; he is Nvidia, clearly sets the long-term strategy and direction, and pulls most of the company's strings himself," said Stacy Rasgon, an analyst at Bernstein.
輝達股東週一迅速對黃仁勳和公司提起擬議集體訴訟,指控他們隱瞞黃仁勳與一名疑似中國間諜的關係,因而欺騙股東。Nvidia shareholders were quick to sue Huang and the company in a proposed class action on Monday, accusing them of defrauding shareholders by concealing Huang's ties with a suspected Chinese spy.
國會議員與倡議人士告訴路透,鑑於黃仁勳與一名疑似中國情報人員關係的消息,國會更可能通過立法,收緊中國取得 AI 晶片的管道。Lawmakers and advocates told Reuters that Congress was more likely to pass legislation to tighten China's access to AI chips in light of news of Huang's relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence agent.
美國眾議院民主黨領袖哈基姆・傑佛瑞斯(Hakeem Jeffries)週一表示,國會需要更多答案,並呼籲眾議院通過一項年度國防法案,內容包括限制對中國銷售晶片。US House of Representatives Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said on Monday that Congress needs more answers and called for the House to pass an annual defense bill that includes restrictions on chip sales to China.
《紐約時報》上月報導,黃仁勳曾與 Alice Huang 有一段關係。Alice Huang 與黃仁勳並無親屬關係,曾任總部位於新加坡的公司 Megaspeed 高階主管;美國當局曾對她展開調查,並得出結論認為她是中國情報資產。The New York Times reported last month that Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, an unrelated former executive of Singapore-based company Megaspeed, who US authorities investigated and concluded was a Chinese intelligence asset.
週一適逢新加坡公眾假日,Megaspeed 未立即回應採訪請求。Megaspeed did not respond immediately to a request for comment on Monday, a public holiday in Singapore.
《紐約時報》上月首次報導 Alice Huang 與黃仁勳的關係時,Alice Huang 未回應該報;路透週一無法確認她的位置,以尋求回應。Alice Huang did not respond to the New York Times last month when it first reported her relationship with Huang, and Reuters could not determine her location to seek comment on Monday.
