Nvidia CEO Linked to Alleged Chinese Spy in Intelligence Memo

U.S. intelligence officials have reportedly compiled a classified memo suggesting that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed who is believed to have been recruited by China's Ministry of State Security. The memo, shared with top officials before a Trump visit to China, details intelligence indicating Huang's personal ties to Alice Huang. Nvidia has declined to comment on the allegations, despite the memo's existence. The report comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Megaspeed, which has been linked to the smuggling of advanced Nvidia chips into China. The company, spun off from a Chinese gaming firm in 2023, has faced U.S. investigations into its activities. Alice Huang, who speaks fluent English, is connected to executives in the AI chip industry and has relationships with leaders at Gigabyte, a major assembler of Nvidia supercomputers. The U.S. has been monitoring her for at least a year, with Trump reportedly briefed on Huang's relationship with her but taking no action. The allegations have sparked calls for a closed-door briefing with Huang, highlighting the growing tensions between U.S. national security interests and corporate interests in the AI chip sector.
