US intelligence probed suspected Chinese espionage targeting Nvidia CEO via Megaspeed executive
The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, reports that Alice Huang (Huang Le), a top executive at Singapore-based AI cloud provider Megaspeed, was surveilled for about a year by U.S. intelligence agencies over suspected ties to China. Investigators were concerned she had cultivated a close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and could be collecting information about Nvidia's China strategy and its lobbying of the Trump administration over advanced chip exports. Megaspeed was previously investigated in 2025 by the U.S. Commerce Department for allegedly reselling export-restricted Nvidia AI chips to Chinese firms. Nvidia denied any irregularity, saying the CEO's contacts with Ms. Huang were routine customer meetings and that regional cloud customers receive only ordinary business information, not trade secrets or national-security-relevant data. No technical compromise, malware or intrusion is alleged; this is a human-intelligence and export-control matter.
