alt Hacker NewsI knew this was going to happen. It's highly unlikely that a man cheats on his wife for the first time after age 60. This was just the first time he was outed for it.
I hated the misogynistic narrative that Huang was somehow helpless against a super-spy-seductress. Men can in fact control themselves, and it takes a lot of effort, you might even say willpower, to turn a business meeting into a bedroom encounter, especially when you're in the public eye. If Huang was targeted, it was because he was an easy target, a philanderer.

"I knew this was going to happen."
Maybe his autographing that women's bra (boob?) at a trade show was a red flag…
On nearly every post online about his affair, one of the most visible comments always ended up being about how one must "understand" that this just sort of "happens" when you're this rich and powerful. Poor thing, couldn't keep it in his pants. "Oh, just think of how hard it would be to resist! Would you?"
I pity whomever is in a relationship with someone who actually thinks that way. I'm disgusted, to be honest.
Yes even if you are a billionaire women don't just spontaneously strip naked for you it takes a real effort to make it happen.

For good reason. The level of fuck-up in sleeping with a Chinese spy and then having the gall to try and corruptly quash the investigations into it, coming clean only after Congress flips, is nuts.
I’m not convinced a good CEO can’t have affairs. I am convinced a liar and corrupter can’t.
