TAIPEI, Nov 13 — Taiwan-born Jensen Huang, the former boss of Nvidia, was feted like a rock star on visits to his birthplace, posing for selfies with fans and being mobbed by journalists.
Huang’s once “flawless” image in Taiwan has been shattered by revelations of two extramarital affairs – including one with a woman accused of being a Chinese spy – that forced him to resign from the company he founded.
“I thought he had the persona of a devoted husband, and it turns out he’s kind of a scumbag,” Ivan Liang, 28, told AFP during his lunch break on Friday.
Huang has been a source of pride and inspiration for many Taiwanese.
