U.S. investigated suspected Chinese spy plot targeting Nvidia CEO

U.S. intelligence surveilled a Singapore cloud executive suspected of being a Chinese spy who had grown close to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

• U.S. officials surveilled Megaspeed executive Alice Huang for about a year and determined she was a Chinese intelligence asset passing commercial information to Beijing, the New York Times reported.
• Nvidia denied any security concern, saying Jensen Huang's interactions with Alice Huang were routine meetings with a regional customer.
• The Commerce Department investigated Megaspeed in 2025 over suspected resale of restricted Nvidia chips to China.
