I don't want to gawk over someone else's love life (and their failings). That's none of anyone's business but theirs.
The issue with the first affair is what laws he broke... though I would argue the GPU export restrictions were pointless anyway, and the U.S. feds would be stupid to enforce them now, after they clearly did not work.
As for the second, per their own policy:

It's not... particularly explicit about this, but it does feel like conflict-of-interest if she reports to Jensen.

If she got her vice president position more on the basis of being a nice lay for Jensen Huang than because she was qualified for it, that does sound like a potential issue for the company, even aside from the affair itself.
I think you've got it backwards. There's no evidence that he broke any laws with the first affair, and no evidence that she was even a spy, so that one could have been just a regular affair.
The new affair potentially opens Nvidia up to lawsuits, so it carries way more financial risk.
As someone who's incorporated in Singapore she's 100% a spy or useful "partner of the state". That's the entire reason Singapore exists and everybody knows this - it's a tax haven and legal obfuscation state. The problem is exactly that it's not illegal in any way and it's in everyone's best interest to keep SG the way it is.
Remember tiktok's CEO's "I'm Singaporean, senator" and how behind closed doors us senators deemed tiktok a national threat. Yeah that's all on SG incorporation that americans themselves use for their spy operations - everybody loves eating this cake and nobody will ever ruin it. This is why SG is the most stable "country" in SEA.
I don't know about the whole tax haven or legal obfuscation angle, there's definitely way better places you can do that.
The whole tiktok CEO hearing was a complete shitshow. They were just trying to get him to say he was Chinese or had worked for the Chinese gov in the past as some kind of stupid right wing gotcha just like they did during the Cold War and trying to get people to admit to some kind of communist/socialist assocation, but in true Republican fashion couldn't do 5 min of searching and find out he's never even lived in China.
The only "national security" threat was tiktok was siphoning users away from US social media and threatening Zuckerberg's net worth.
Singapore is definitely known for having lax laws. When it comes to business. They'll kill you for drugs though.
Why else does it attract fintech startups? It's a place with a good reputation that doesn't seem to care much what you're doing in other countries as long as local laws aren't being broken
It's not just drugs - they have some wild laws for regular people. Caning for vandalism, including graffiti, as well as many other "crimes". Chewing gum is banned. Not flushing the toilet is illegal. Also, as far as drugs go, they may drug test you as you enter the country and you can be punished if they find any trace.

What's with "country" in quotes?
It's a city state like Hong Kong, Monaco and the Vatican
Is there something I missed in the definition of either that says they're mutually exclusive?
Because it's not really a full country but a tax haven micro state.
