Singapore denies investigating alleged Chinese spy links involving Nvidia boss

Singapore has denied investigating allegations of Chinese espionage involving Nvidia boss Jensen Huang and his wife, Alice Huang, of data centre firm Megaspeed International. According to a Wall Street Journal report, officials in the US, Taiwan, and Singapore were concerned about possible Chinese espionage due to the close ties between the Nvidia chief and Alice Huang.

However, Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs stated that neither the government nor officials had expressed concerns about Alice Huang's ties to the Nvidia boss or suspicions that she was a Chinese intelligence source. The ministry emphasized that there were no investigations conducted in respect of Alice Huang. The Singaporean statement also made no mention of a separate report by the New York Times, which China described as "groundless speculation."

The report claimed that Nvidia's chief was the target of a Chinese spy plot, but AFP could not confirm the company's response as attempts to contact Megaspeed for comment on Friday were unsuccessful.
