China recruited Singapore-based executive to spy on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: US intelligence
China’s interest in Jensen Huang has been a focus of US spy agencies
US intelligence agencies have disclosed a memo from the Trump administration that alleged a Chinese businessperson, Alice Huang, was a spy for China's Ministry of State Security. She was recruited to gather intelligence on Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, at the behest of Beijing's top spy agency. Huang, who works at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based customer of Nvidia, is a key figure in the intense global competition for AI supremacy.
The memo, which had not been previously reported, sheds new light on China's long-standing industrial espionage efforts. US policymakers are now eager to know more about Huang's interactions and the potential influence Beijing sought to exert on Nvidia.
