Nvidia opens probe after US memo tied executive to China spying

Nvidia opened an independent investigation after reports that Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, had been recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to gather intelligence on CEO Jensen Huang. A memo circulated among senior Trump administration officials last spring described her as a Chinese intelligence asset, according to people briefed on the matter. The New York Times had earlier reported that US agencies were monitoring Alice Huang and that Jensen Huang was a target of a Chinese operation. On Nov. 5, Republican leaders of three House committees requested a closed-door briefing with Jensen Huang later this month. Nvidia has said it does not share classified information with customers or lobby them on export policy.
