Newtalk新聞 美國總統川普（Donald Trump）即將前往中國深圳出席亞太經濟合作會議（APEC），預計帶領多名美國企業領袖同行，特斯拉（Tesla）執行長馬斯克（Elon Musk）也在名單之列。 不過，原本有望隨行的輝達（NVIDIA）執行長黃仁勳，近期因婚外情及疑似中國情報人員接觸風波，出席計畫恐生變。如今，更傳出輝達董事會正討論其去留，美國國會共和黨議員也要求他親自出面說明，讓這趟訪中行程增添變數。 馬斯克傳隨川普訪中 黃仁勳能否成行添變數 根據《南華早報》報導，川普預計於 11 月 18 日至 19 日參加 APEC 會議，隨行企業領袖包括馬斯克、萬事達卡（Mastercard）執行長米巴赫（Michael Miebach）。黃仁勳原本也在代表團討論名單內，但隨著近期爭議持續延燒，能否成行仍有變數。 知情人士透露，川普尚未將黃仁勳排除在代表團之外，最終名單仍可能調整。今年 5 月川普訪中時，黃仁勳也曾在行程展開後，趁空軍一號停靠阿拉斯加期間臨時加入代表團。 然而，相較於能否隨行訪中，黃仁勳眼前更大的挑戰是輝達內部的換帥風暴。《華爾街日報》報導，輝達董事會正準備換帥；《路透》則引述知情人士指出，董事會已召開會議，討論是否讓這位自 1993 年共同創辦公司以來、長期掌舵的執行長卸任。 值得注意的是，輝達董事會 8 日才公開表達對黃仁勳及管理團隊的信心，如今卻傳出評估換帥，顯示情勢急遽變化。不過，公司尚未公布正式決議，黃仁勳去留仍待確認。 川普先前則曾公開力挺黃仁勳。當媒體詢問是否邀請他隨行訪中時，川普表示願意讓黃仁勳加入代表團，並透露已與他談過相關爭議，相信黃仁勳並不知道涉事女子可能具有情報背景。 共和黨要求赴國會說明 不配合恐祭傳票 除了董事會換帥壓力，黃仁勳也面臨美國國會追查。 據《路透》報導，美國眾議院外交事務委員會主席馬斯特（Brian Mast）、美中戰略競爭特別委員會主席穆勒納爾（John …
