德国国内情报机构周二警告称，外国间谍可能利用个人关系胁迫企业高管，此前有关英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋的报道引发关注。
Germany's domestic intelligence agency on Tuesday warned that foreign spies could exploit personal relationships to compromise business executives, following reports involving Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang.
德国联邦宪法保护局（BfV）向德国商业日报《商业日报》表示，此类“美人计”旨在“通过人际关系为目标人物制造可能具有妥协性的局面”。该机构表示，情报人员在接近目标之前会系统地筛选和调查潜在目标。
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) told German business daily Handelsblatt that such "honey traps" aim “to create possibly compromising situations for the target person through interpersonal relationships.”The agency said intelligence operatives systematically select and research potential targets before approaching them.
该机构警告称，被针对者随后可能被迫进行“有意识或无意识的合作”。
Those targeted could then be pressured into "conscious or unconscious cooperation," it warned.
此前美国媒体报道称，美国芯片制造商英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋与一名中国女商人有婚外情，美国当局怀疑该女商人与中国情报机构有联系。中国否认这些指控毫无根据。
The warning followed US media reports that Huang, chief executive of US chipmaker Nvidia, had an extramarital affair with a Chinese businesswoman whom US authorities suspect of having ties to Chinese intelligence. China has rejected the allegations as groundless.
