Megaspeed exec was recruited to spy on Nvidia CEO, according to US intelligence memo
Summary
A memo circulated earlier this year, reportedly based on U.S. intelligence, claims that technology executive Alice Huang was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security to spy on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The New York Times first reported on the memo, and the Financial Times subsequently reported that the memo also alleged a romantic relationship between Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. An Nvidia spokesperson told the NYT that Jensen Huang's interactions with Alice Huang were "not unusual" and that the company does not share classified information with customers. A separate NYT report examined New Matrix, a Chinese company authorized by the U.S. Commerce Department to buy advanced Nvidia chips, but reporters found only "a hollow gray shell" at its listed office address, raising concerns it could be a front for a blacklisted private equity firm. Nvidia's spokesperson said the company sells "the first, best and most of our technology in America."
