US memo tied Singapore tech executive to spy effort targeting Nvidia CEO

A Trump administration memo circulated to senior officials last spring assessed that Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based data center firm Megaspeed, was working for China’s Ministry of State Security and targeting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The intelligence, first detailed by US media and followed by regional reporting, said Beijing aimed to learn more about advanced US AI chips and potentially steer Nvidia to support wider access for China. House Republican leaders from three committees have asked Jensen Huang to appear for a closed-door briefing later in November. Nvidia said it does not share classified information with customers and that clients do not ask it to lobby for changes to US chip-sale rules.
