US Intelligence Identifies Chinese Spy Close to Nvidia CEO; Trump Briefed but Took No Action
US intelligence agencies identified Alice Huang, a Chinese citizen and senior executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, as a suspected Chinese intelligence asset funneling information to Beijing. Surveillance revealed she had developed a close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, raising concerns about potential access to sensitive AI technology and policy information. President Donald Trump was briefed on these findings about a year ago but chose not to act, reportedly to avoid disrupting Nvidia's chip sales and US-China trade relations. Nvidia stated interactions with Huang were ordinary business contacts, and investigations continue.
