Singapore denies probe into Nvidia-linked executive over China spy claims
The home affairs ministry says neither the government nor officials raised concerns about Alice Huang's Nvidia ties or suspected her of being a Chinese intelligence source.
Singapore has firmly rejected allegations that its government or officials are probing a Chinese executive reportedly linked to Nvidia chief Jensen Huang over espionage concerns, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ article claimed officials in the US, Taiwan and Singapore had become worried about potential Chinese espionage due to the connections between Nvidia's CEO and Alice Huang, a Singapore-based data centre firm executive.
However, Singapore's Home Affairs Ministry explicitly stated on Saturday that no such concerns or investigations were ever expressed or conducted by the Singapore government or its officials. The ministry emphasized that Alice Huang's ties to Jensen Huang or her suspected role as a Chinese intelligence source were never a topic of investigation.
The New York Times report, which AFP attempted to verify, described the Nvidia CEO as a target of a Chinese spy plot and mentioned his ties with Alice Huang, but Megaspeed declined to comment on the matter.
