Chinese spies targeted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, according to The New York Times

US intelligence agencies believe Alice Huang (Huang Le) of Singapore-based data center operator Megaspeed, an executive close to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, passes information to Beijing, and President Trump was briefed about a year ago but did nothing, according to The New York Times. The report says Jensen Huang was not warned and US officials believed he was unaware, while the US government suspects Megaspeed of helping China access Nvidia chips, with a Malaysian sister company buying at least $4.8 billion worth of AI hardware with Nvidia chips between June 2024 and February 2026. An Nvidia spokesperson said meeting customers is part of a CEO's job and that Megaspeed receives no sensitive information, Megaspeed announced an internal investigation, and a Chinese embassy spokesperson dismissed the allegations as "groundless smears and slanders."
