Chinese Spy Who Targeted Jensen Huang Worked Directly for China’s Top Spy Agency: NYT

  • On November 5, Republican leaders of three House committees requested Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang appear at a closed-door briefing on November 18 regarding his interactions with alleged Chinese intelligence asset Alice Huang.
  • U.S. intelligence officials identified Alice Huang as a recruiter for China's Ministry of State Security, aiming to gather information on advanced chips and influence Jensen's lobbying efforts, according to a classified memo circulated earlier this year.
  • Megaspeed, where Alice Huang served as an executive, purchased at least $4.8 billion in Nvidia processors since June 2024, building Southeast Asian data centers analysts describe as a backdoor for Chinese firms to access restricted technology.
  • Lawmakers from both parties are demanding answers about national security risks, while Nvidia spokesperson John Rizzo maintained Jensen's interactions were 'not unusual' and that the company does not share classified information with customers.
  • The incident intensifies pressure on Washington to close export control loopholes, with Senate leaders pushing for legislation like the AI Overwatch Act to further restrict Chinese access to advanced U.S. semiconductor technology.
