  "account": "Chinese intelligence agencies reportedly recruited a Singapore-based executive, Alice Huang, to spy on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, according to US intelligence sources. Huang, an executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based customer of Nvidia, was targeted as part of Beijing's efforts to gain intelligence on US AI chips and potentially influence the company to allow advanced chips to be used in China. The existence of the memo and US officials' assessment that Huang was working directly for China's Ministry of State Security have not been publicly reported before, adding to the scope of China's industrial espionage efforts. The US intelligence assessment has been of interest to Capitol Hill, with Republican leaders of three influential US House committees requesting a meeting with Huang to discuss his interactions with Alice Huang. Nvidia spokesperson John Rizzo stated that the company does not share classified information with its customers and that Huang's interactions with Huang were typical for any of Nvidia's many clients. Meanwhile, the Chinese embassy dismissed the NYT's reporting as unsubstantiated and a smear against China.",
