China’s Top Spy Agency Recruited Woman Who Targeted Nvidia’s Jensen Huang

The memo said Alice Huang was recruited to gather intelligence on Nvidia’s AI chips and press for access to its most advanced semiconductors.

  • Alice Huang, a Megaspeed International executive, was recruited as a spy for China's MSS to target Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang, according to a Trump administration memo circulated among policymakers.
  • Intelligence cited in the memo last spring identified Alice Huang as having a close relationship with Jensen Huang and tasked her to collect intelligence on American AI chips and potentially influence Nvidia.
  • Megaspeed, a Singapore-based Nvidia cloud partner, allegedly sought advanced chip intelligence while building data centers in South-east Asia for China, according to American officials briefed on the matter.
  • On Thursday, the House Select Committee requested a closed-door briefing with Jensen Huang regarding his interactions with Alice Huang and company security protocols, though Nvidia denies wrongdoing.
  • The case has intensified Capitol Hill scrutiny and debate over American chip sales to China, sharpening security concerns as Democrats gain congressional control following this week's midterm elections.
