They don't give a shit about that. He made the stock price move the wrong direction and that is unforgivable.

    But the stock went down because people care about him putting his wee wee in the wrong hole.

    What he did with her is again whatever. It's the fact that she is connected to China and that might cause problems because of the export bans. Even if his relationship with her was platonic it would still be a problem.

    "Meets with Chinese spy" is just as bad of a headline as " fools around with Chinese spy"

    It probably wouldn't be as big a deal if it were a platonic relationship. The reason the sex matters is that sex tends to lead to people making bad decisions. Also, the fact that it's an affair matters because lying and sex in secret also is associated with bad decisions.

    If he were in a platonic relationship with her but they were caught doing heroin together, that might also be a big deal because drugs also lead to bad decisions. Illegal drugs done in secret would be an even bigger deal.
