Maybe I'm old, maybe I'm out of touch, but it seems to me that this entire discussion is wrapped up in a metric f*** ton of misogyny.
This woman spent decades in industry, first commanding in finance management for a gaming company partner, and then production and distribution for that very gaming company, which grew into one of Alibaba's largest cloud compute subsidiaries.
It's someone who acted with agency and with acumen across time, and leveraged talents and a working relationship with one of the most pivotal executives in human history.
Today half of my Facebook feed is basically people calling her a two-bit whore and calling Jensen dumb, as if they both don't deserve to be exactly where they are, didn't make every decision that brought billions to their fiefdoms.
In less than a week I've seen $100,000 wiped off my balance sheet, and I fully anticipate seeing another $100k drop off before Nvidia even gets to their quarterly earnings call to discuss what the business is actually f****** doing.
It's possible that this is the end of the road for my Nvidia Investments and that's fine.
But te people are reaching for the most simplistic narrative and meanwhile all of the industry players are doing exactly what they've always done. Espionage, trade and arbitrage occurring in delicate dances between bedsheets and balance sheets.
While everyone's meemaw and peepaw imagine some 25-year-old bar girl wandered into Jensen Huang's pocket after the Chinese government bought her a plane ticket.

Those people aren't as great as you make them out to be. They aren't some kind of super human geniuses who know how to make the best decisions. The whole article is about them making bad decisions.
They got lucky that ai happens to run best on graphics cards that they were already making. The people at the top didn't design the chips or do any of the really hard work. They just slap their name on it. These people are as human as you and I and they are capable of making the same awful mistakes.
