John Gruber in another blog post on fallout from Jensen Huang:

… the degree to which Alice Huang worked for or with China’s MSS is almost a footnote on this scandal. It’s not central to the story at all.

Except that the “spy” story is what captured people’s attention. News media was all over it. The smuggling is complicated and the affairs alone might not have been enough to force Jensen out, at least not so quickly.
