  "account": "Alice Huang, a Chinese technology executive, is under investigation for allegedly spying on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, according to media reports. The New York Times first reported that Jensen Huang was the alleged target of a spy plot, citing people briefed on the surveillance. Despite sharing a surname, Huang is not related to the Nvidia CEO. She was reportedly recruited by Beijing to gather intelligence on the Nvidia boss, according to the media reports. Huang is well-connected at the highest levels of the global AI chip industry and has held positions at HSBC Bank and as a reporter for Chinese media outlets. There is speculation that she and Jensen Huang had a close relationship, as they were often seen together at industry events and attended a dinner hosted by Jensen Huang in Taipei. US officials concluded last year that Huang was targeting Jensen Huang as a spy, and the US government has been investigating Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based data center company where Huang is reportedly a senior executive, since 2024 over its alleged role in directing Nvidia chips to China.",
