Let's say you were China and wanted to undermine NVIDIA, this would certainly be one way to do it.. Initiate the affair, then make sure it blows up and the wife divorces and damages his reputation, business, etc.
On the other hand all the 3 letter agencies surely must have known about that for a long, long time. Given the timing of that leak, and the fact that he was actually quite fond of working with China, I think it's entirely possible that the "desire to undermine" him could also be coming from the US.

They are all just deeply psychologically damaged people with a lot of money to cover all that up.
Add to that the level of constant temptation coming from every way, women literally throwing themselves at them either for their own gain, or as in this example for their country.
I don't think we should be feeling pity for them, but they live in a very, very, VERY different world than the normal person.

Not spies, but it is not surprising: Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, Tiger Woods, etc.

Are you asking how an extremely powerful but aging heterosexual man was tricked by an attractive young woman using her sexuality and good looks?
