What happened
Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang is reported to have had an affair with an alleged Chinese spy. According to the NZZ, US President Donald Trump sought Mr Huang's company even though he knew Mr Huang might have been seduced by a Chinese informant. Mr Trump claims to have known nothing. In Congress, there is widespread outrage in both parties. Nvidia shares fell after reports of a possible change at the top and rumours of a further affair.
What does this mean for your Shar-Pei?
The Shar-Pei has worn the appropriate face for this story since birth: furrowed brow, anxious gaze, enough skin for two dogs. It comes from southern China, where it guarded farms, and it still treats strangers with polite suspicion. It cannot be seduced, least of all by someone new to the neighbourhood handing out suspiciously generous biscuits. That would make it an ideal security adviser to a tech giant, were it not for its refusal to read share prices. Anyone who checked their portfolio this morning is now wearing the same expression. The Shar-Pei has managed it for centuries, without owning a single share.
What you can do now: Check your portfolio only after the morning walk. One worried face per household is plenty, and the Shar-Pei has that covered.
