ADAM SATARIANO2026年11月10日英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋10月在华盛顿。黄仁勋承认与一名商界高管有亲密关系,美国官员怀疑该高管向中国情报部门提供情报。 Demetrius Freeman for The New York TimesA Chinese government spokesman on Monday rejected claims that a woman romantically involved with Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia, was a Chinese spy. The spokesman dismissed the reports as “pure fabrication out of thin air” and “nothing but a smear against China.”周一,中国外交部发言人否认了与英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋有亲密关系的女性是中国间谍的说法。发言人将这些报道斥为“纯属捕风捉影”和“污蔑抹黑”。The response by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs underscored how the revelations involving one of the world’s most prominent technology executives have spilled into the intensifying rivalry between Washington and Beijing.中国外交部的回应凸显出,这起涉及全球最知名科技高管之一的事件已卷入华盛顿与北京之间日益激烈的竞争之中。On Sunday, Mr. Huang acknowledged having a relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese business executive whom American officials suspected of providing information to Chinese intelligence. Nvidia said that it was opening an investigation into Mr. Huang’s conduct. The company’s board said it had no reason to believe that national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised.周日,黄仁勋承认与一名中国商界高管黄乐(音,其英文名为Alice Huang)存在亲密关系,美国官员怀疑她向中国情报机构提供信息。英伟达表示,正在对黄仁勋的行为展开调查。公司董事会表示,没有理由认为国家安全或英伟达机密已受到损害。While American officials have raised national security concerns, with some lawmakers calling for Mr. Huang to testify before Congress, the reaction in China has been to downplay the significance.尽管美国官员提出了国家安全方面的担忧,一些议员还呼吁黄仁勋到国会作证,但中国的反应是淡化此事的重要性。Chinese officials have sought to discredit the espionage allegations, while social media users seized on the personal tumult engulfing an American billionaire whose company is at the center of the race for dominance of the A.I. industry between the two countries.中国官员试图否定间谍指控,而社交媒体用户则抓住这位美国亿万富翁的个人风波不放,他的公司正处于美中争夺人工智能行业主导权的核心。On Weibo, China’s heavily censored social media platform, users seemed to relish the fall from grace of a technology industry celebrity long admired across Asia.在受到严格审查的中国社交媒体平台微博上,用户似乎乐于看到一位长期在亚洲广受钦佩的科技界名人的形象崩塌。“Jensen Huang’s 41-Year Loyal Husband Persona Falls Apart,” was the platform’s top trending topic on Monday morning. Other users accused the American news media of smearing Ms. Huang, who is not related to the Nvidia co-founder.“黄仁勋41年爱妻人设崩塌”是周一上午该平台最热门的议题。也有用户指责美国新闻媒体抹黑黄乐,她与英伟达联合创始人黄仁勋没有亲属关系。The controversy erupted after The New York Times reported that U.S. government officials had determined that Ms. Huang, an executive for a Singapore-based tech company called Megaspeed, was gathering intelligence for Beijing.这场争议始于《纽约时报》报道称,美国政府官员认定,新加坡科技公司Megaspeed高管黄乐正在为北京收集情报。The U.S. government had been investigating whether Megaspeed was helping to divert advanced Nvidia A.I. chips to China in violation of American export controls. Authorities began surveilling Ms. Huang more than a year ago and discovered she was communicating with an American citizen later identified as Mr. Huang, The Times reported.美国政府一直在调查Megaspeed是否是否违反美国出口管制规定,协助将英伟达的先进人工智能芯片转运至中国。《纽约时报》报道,当局一年多前开始监视黄乐,并发现她与一名美国公民有联系,该公民后来被确认为黄仁勋。“I was unfaithful to my wife,” said Mr. Huang, 63, said on Sunday, after Nvidia had previously said their relationship was part of normal business interactions. “My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”“我对妻子不忠,”63岁的黄仁勋周日说。此前英伟达曾表示,他们的关系是正常业务往来的一部分。“我的行为伤害了她和我们的孩子。我的所作所为没有任何借口。我深感抱歉。”The investigation threatens to complicate Mr. Huang’s relationship with President Trump. Mr. Huang has emerged as an influential technology industry ally of the president, even as he has pressed the administration to ease export restrictions that limit Nvidia’s ability to sell advanced chips to Chinese companies. In May, Mr. Huang joined a delegation that traveled with Mr. Trump to China.这项调查可能使黄仁勋与特朗普总统的关系变得复杂。黄仁勋已成为总统在科技行业的一位有影响力的盟友,尽管他一直敦促政府放宽限制英伟达向中国公司出售先进芯片的出口限制。5月,黄仁勋随特朗普的访华代表团一同前往中国。Mr. Huang has argued that America’s national security concerns are overblown because the Chinese military does not need Nvidia’s chips to develop A.I. technology and that the United States risks conceding technological leadership by closing itself off from the vast Chinese market.黄仁勋辩称,美国的国家安全担忧被夸大了,因为中国军方不需要英伟达的芯片来开发人工智能技术,而美国若将自己与中国庞大市场隔绝,将面临丧失技术领导地位的风险。Chinese officials have denied that Ms. Huang was a spy. Their position was echoed on Monday by prominent nationalist commentators.中国官员否认黄乐是间谍。周一,一些著名的民族主义评论员也表达了同样的立场。Hu Xijin, the former chief editor of the Global Times, a newspaper controlled by China’s ruling Communist Party, cast the uproar as a U.S. political conspiracy. He called the disclosure “a calculated move by the Democratic Party and the U.S. establishment to take down Jensen Huang, and by extension, go after Trump.” Similar claims circulated on social media.中国执政党控制的《环球时报》前总编辑胡锡进将这场风波说成美国的政治阴谋。他称这一爆料是“民主党和美国建制派搞垮黄仁勋,并进而搞特朗普的一种方式”。类似说法也在社交媒体上流传。For Mr. Huang, the controversy is particularly striking because of his extraordinary popularity across Asia, where he enjoys a level of celebrity rarely accorded to corporate executives.对黄仁勋来说,这场争议尤其引人注目,因为他在亚洲各地拥有非凡的人气,其名人地位在企业高管中非常罕见。Born in Taiwan and raised in the United States, Mr. Huang has developed an image as a charismatic leader who can bridge the widening fractures dividing the technology industries in the United States and China.黄仁勋出生于台湾,在美国长大,他塑造了一种富有魅力的领导人形象,能够弥合美中科技行业之间日益扩大的裂痕。His appearances in Taipei, Seoul and Beijing routinely draw crowds more commonly associated with Hollywood movie stars or professional athletes. At technology conferences, fans trail him for autographs and selfies. His signature black leather jacket has become instantly recognizable across the region.他在台北、首尔和北京的露面常常会吸引通常只有好莱坞电影明星或职业运动员才能招来的拥挤人群。在科技会议上,粉丝追随他索要签名和合影。他标志性的黑色皮夹克在整个地区变得一眼就能认出。During a visit to South Korea last year, Mr. Huang joined some of the country’s most powerful semiconductor executives for fried chicken and beer, attracting throngs of spectators and journalists. As crowds assembled outside, he handed out snacks to onlookers.去年访问韩国时,黄仁勋与该国一些最有影响力的半导体高管一起吃炸鸡喝啤酒,吸引了大量围观者和记者。当人群聚集在外面时,他向围观者分发零食。In Beijing, he has frequented neighborhood restaurants and food stalls, slurping down noodles and mingling with locals. Videos of such outings have circulated widely on social media, reinforcing his image as an accessible billionaire.在北京,他经常光顾社区餐馆和食品摊,大口吸着面条,与当地人打成一片。这类外出活动的视频在社交媒体上广泛传播,强化了他平易近人的亿万富翁形象。On Taiwanese social media, some users expressed disbelief and disappointment that Mr. Huang, who is often treated like a returning hero and long seen as a devoted family man, could have exercised such poor judgment. His popularity is such that some Taiwanese refer to him as “dad,” a local term of endearment for an admired figure.在台湾社交媒体上,一些用户对黄仁勋可能做出如此缺乏判断力的行为表示难以置信和失望。他常被当作归来的英雄,长期被视为忠诚的爱家男人。他的人气极高,以至于一些台湾人称他为“爸爸”,这是当地对受敬仰人物的亲昵称呼。In Taiwan, where fears of a potential Chinese invasion loom over public life, online commentators expressed concern about spying, wondering how Ms. Huang gained entry to the self-governing island.在台湾,对中国可能入侵的担忧笼罩着公共生活,网络评论人士对间谍活动表示担忧,想知道黄乐是如何进入这个自治岛屿的。Nevertheless, Mr. Huang could soon be returning to Asia. On Sunday, President Trump indicated he still planned to bring Mr. Huang on his upcoming trip to Asia for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC, forum hosted in China. Xi Jinping, China’s top leader, is hosting the event, where advanced semiconductor technology and artificial intelligence are expected to be a focus.尽管如此,黄仁勋可能很快返回亚洲。周日,特朗普总统表示,他仍计划带上黄仁勋参加即将到来的亚洲之行,出席在中国主办的亚太经合组织论坛。中国最高领导人习近平将主持此次活动,先进半导体技术和人工智能预计将是会议焦点。Xinyun Wu和Siyi Zhao对本文有研究贡献。Adam Satariano是时报科技记者,常驻伦敦。翻译:纽约时报中文网点击查看本文英文版。
