US Intelligence Reportedly Feared Megaspeed Executive Gathered Nvidia Data; Claim Unproven

According to a New York Times report, US intelligence worried that a Megaspeed executive, Alice Huang, had grown close enough to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to collect information, though no proof has been made public. Huang was reportedly photographed at business dinners with the Nvidia chief in the Singapore region, and agencies reportedly surveilled her for about a year over her China ties. Nvidia responded that its CEO meets thousands of customer executives and that regional cloud customers received only ordinary business information with no national security relevance. The spy allegation is separate from a broader inquiry into whether Megaspeed helped Chinese firms bypass chip export controls, with trade records citing at least $4.8 billion in purchases by a Malaysian sister company. Nvidia says the diversion claims were investigated and dismissed last year, and the sourcing relies on anonymous people briefed on classified findings.
