Alleged Chinese spy had ‘close relationship’ with Nvidia boss Jensen Huang: NY Times
U.S. intelligence officials concluded Alice Huang was a Chinese asset as Megaspeed bought at least $4.8 billion in Nvidia gear, the Times reported.
- A explosive New York Times report revealed that U.S. intelligence agencies scrutinised interactions between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Alice Huang , a former executive at Singapore-based cloud provider Megaspeed suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset.
- Federal investigators launched a probe into Megaspeed after Commerce Department officials inspected a Malaysian data center in late 2024 and found boxed Nvidia hardware suspected of being illicitly diverted to Chinese tech firms, including Alibaba, in circumvention of export controls.
- Intelligence surveillance revealed that Alice Huang cultivated a close relationship with Jensen Huang, raising counterintelligence concerns over whether Beijing sought insights into Trump administration chip policy or Nvidia’s proprietary operations.
- President Trump was briefed on the intelligence findings roughly a year ago but took no action, reportedly to avoid disrupting Nvidia’s commercial sales, destabilizing markets, or escalating U.S.-China trade tensions.
- Nvidia strongly defended its executive, stating that Jensen Huang meets with thousands of customer leaders annually, received no defensive briefing from law enforcement, and shared only standard business information—with zero access given to trade secrets or national security secrets.
