1. Rubio's initial memo to Trump likely didn't aim to remove Huang, but rather to silence him and ensure strict adherence to chip export controls. However, seeing Huang's apparent disobedience and continued chip exports to Chinese-related entities, Trump couldn't remain indifferent. Furthermore, Huang's direct communication with Trump ultimately forced Trump to consider removing him. The election defeat provided an opening. 2. Huang's affair with a female subordinate, previously known only to a few, became a serious issue once reported by the media. What started as private gossip transformed into a workplace red line that Huang and the board had to confront. This time, I believe it wasn't the board firing him, but rather his own decision to resign. He admitted to the affair, though without specifying who it was with, but it's likely not a relationship. The gradual uncovering of his past was unbearable for him. Moreover, Huang's reluctance to resign voluntarily left him with room for maneuver. You see, Trump called him the day before to encourage him to fight, and Huang himself wanted to resign; Trump was then able to name Cook. 3. Do you think the media leaked information, or were they instructed to do so? I think it's the latter. Many people say the media is stirring up trouble, but I think these media outlets are like several knives, each held by someone behind it, and if you look deeper, the person holding each knife might be different. But while leaking information is one thing, the way the New York Times Chinese website is going to fabricate stories about Huang is a bit excessive.
