China denied it engaged in an attempt to ensnare Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in an affair with a businesswoman , saying the spying allegations were unsubstantiated and a smear campaign against Beijing.

Huang has acknowledged he had been intimate with a business executive, issuing an apology to his wife and to the company in an open letter posted on Nvidia’s website. The woman has been named as Alice Huang, the founder and executive of a company called Megaspeed, which did business with Nvidia.

Nvidia announced Sunday it was conducting an independent investigation into reports that Huang was the “target of a foreign intelligence effort.”

The New York Times reported that US intelligence determined that the woman was gathering information for Beijing.

“I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security,” Huang said in his letter.
