Given the news article is paywalled can mods please replace the URL with this one ^
replyThe official Nvida article only mentions national security concerns and does not bluntly say, as this one does, in its opening:
reply> admitted to having a romantic relationship with a suspected Chinese spy
So it definitely should be changed. The Nvidia one is factual, while the other one is tabloid speculation.
replyHe admitted to having a relationship with a woman.
There's a separate question of whether the woman was a spy.
People reading the nvida article will be wondering what is suspected. Probably why this article is trending as well as the original.
replyWhether tabloid, or completely inaccurate, Nvida make reference to it and that there is an independent investigation. It is reasonable for people to wonder what it is about.

reply> There's a separate question of whether the woman was a spy.
replyI mean, it's pretty clear it was a spy. Have a look at WSJ, NYT, etc. It isn't tabloidish to say so.
There is another thread dedicated to the nvidia newsroom disclosure:

replyThat's not the same link.
replyWelp can’t remove it now that there’s a reply. My bad you are correct.
replyI disagree. Giving NVIDIA / Huang the stage and a microphone is begging for disinformation. Legitimate reporters can provide context, important information omitted by NVIDIA/Huang, and fact-checking.
replyStrongly disagree with changing it to that URL. This the kinda news you don't want to get from an involved primary source... that page is missing a crucial detail (the national security concern mentioned is espionage) and could just disappear whenever it becomes convenient to get the news cycle on the next thing. It will almost certainly be a 404 Not Found by the time 3 years have passed.
replyThen there could be a second archive link.
replyI mean they are literally the same article in essence. One is from the official source and the other is paywalled with nothing worthy added.
The choice is clear.
