More so the smuggling of chips then the mistress. People are saying it's the mistress to try and distract the public from the smuggling that makes up 20% of nvidia sales
Seeing as the Trump admin very likely knew about and tolerated the smuggling, it also seems to be a pretext as much as the Mistress or Spy angle.
Still, cheating on your spouse is more immoral than smuggling chips. And child rape is among the worse things a human can do to another.
But only one of those matters in this country and it wasn't even a crime until a couple of years ago.
And that's a fucking problem.
Ousting the CEO was a bottom dollar decision, not a morality decision. A corporation breaking US export control laws for ITAR technology has a much greater impact on investor bottom lines than any type of CEO sex scandal.
I'm not trying to say "won't someone think of the children" here. I just think that's worse than a honeypot.
And it certainly doesn't help that powerful people are waiting for this bubble to pop.
