US Intelligence Identifies Chinese Spy Link to Nvidia CEO; Trump Briefed but Took No ActionPreviousNext

US intelligence agencies identified Alice Huang, a Chinese executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, as a suspected Chinese intelligence asset passing information to Beijing, including through her close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Surveillance raised concerns about potential access to sensitive AI technology and insights into US policy. President Donald Trump was reportedly briefed about the findings about a year ago but chose not to act, citing economic and trade considerations. Nvidia has denied any unusual interactions or sharing of sensitive information, and the investigation continues.
