What happened
Chip boss Jensen Huang admitted to an affair that is linked to an alleged Chinese spy operation. The Guardian's editorial asks why President Trump ignored intelligence warnings, while Washington Post writers argue that Democrats, soon to control Congress, should rein in the national security problem. Another Washington Post writer argues that both parties should work together on chip-export controls to keep China from winning the AI race.
Why it matters
The writers say the episode shows weaknesses in corporate influence and government attention to security risks. They argue that the outcome could decide whether China gains the lead in artificial intelligence.
