President Donald Trump is not anticipated to bring up the Alice Huang case during his upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to US officials. The potential encounter is scheduled for next week during Trump's four-day Asian tour, which includes a visit to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) forum in Shenzhen, China.
This comes shortly after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday, marking a significant decline in the chip industry's top position. While semiconductor issues have been a significant source of contention in US-China relations, the White House is currently refraining from discussing the Alice Huang matter with China for the time being.
A senior administration official explained that sensitive national security investigations in the US are not something they intend to share with the Chinese government at this point. Another official further stated that they don't expect the president to bring up the Alice Huang issue. These comments followed a report on Tuesday that cited the independent members of Nvidia's board, who engaged Wall Street law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct an independent investigation following reports from the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
The investigation was prompted by allegations surrounding Jensen Huang's relationship with businesswoman Alice Huang and the US government's suspicion that she might be working as a Chinese spy. Beijing has firmly denied these claims. As of now, Reuters has not independently confirmed Alice Huang's possible ties to the Chinese government, and the Justice Department has not concluded anything regarding her alleged affiliation with China.
Jensen Huang expressed regret for straying from his marital commitments and disappointing the company in a statement released on Sunday, though he did not explicitly mention Alice Huang, who was once a high-ranking executive at a Megaspeed International customer.
