The Wall Street Journal’s disparaging portrayal of Chinese technology reads like a script so thoroughly rehearsed it seems to have convinced even its own authors.

Targeting Huang Renxun: How the Wall Street Journal Distorts China

The Wall Street Journal reported that China has built the world’s largest intelligence network to advance its domestic technology sector. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, stepped down on November 12 amid controversy, with the report identifying him as one of Beijing’s targets. According to the publication, Chinese authorities have mobilized government agencies, private enterprises, and ordinary citizens to collect foreign technology.

The report suggests U.S. officials speculate that China’s intelligence services attempted to influence Huang through a so-called "beauty trap," referencing his relationship with Alice Huang, a female entrepreneur linked to Singapore-based Megaspeed. The company is suspected of circumventing export controls by supplying Nvidia chips to China.

The article also notes that Nvidia’s board has launched an independent investigation, and Huang has stated his willingness to cooperate. China’s Foreign Ministry rejected the allegations as baseless rumors. Singapore has been investigating Megaspeed since February 2025 but concluded there was insufficient evidence to link Alice Huang to any wrongdoing.
