  "account": "Donald Trump apparently ignored intelligence indicating that Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, was the target of a Chinese spy plot, apparently to protect the company's stock. According to sources, Trump was briefed a year ago that Beijing had reports from someone with direct access to Huang. The person in question was Alice Huang, a Chinese citizen and former top executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore cloud company. US intelligence had already suspected that Alice Huang, who is not related to Jensen Huang, was aiding China in evading export controls to gain access to high-end Nvidia chips through Megaspeed. It was alarming to discover that Alice Huang may have used her position at Megaspeed to gain direct access to Jensen Huang, potentially feeding China intelligence on Nvidia and influencing Trump's thinking on AI. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted last month that Trump is completely aligned with Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, ahead of Trump's AI talks with China President Xi Jinping.",
