纽约时报称中国情报人员接触 Nvidia CEO 黄仁勋身边人士

US intelligence agencies believe an executive in Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's circle is an informant for China. According to The New York Times, the executive is Alice Huang (Huang Le) of Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center operator. The report says US authorities found while monitoring her that she passes information to Beijing and is close to Jensen Huang.

President Trump was briefed about a year ago and did nothing, likely to avoid disrupting Nvidia's chip sales or further straining trade relations with China. Jensen Huang wasn't warned. US officials believed at the time that he had no idea.

The US government suspects Megaspeed of helping China get access to Nvidia chips. Between June 2024 and February 2026, a Malaysian sister company bought at least $4.8 billion worth of AI hardware with Nvidia chips. An Nvidia spokesperson says meeting with customers is part of a CEO's job and that Megaspeed doesn't receive sensitive information. Megaspeed has announced an internal investigation. A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy dismissed the allegations as "groundless smears and slanders."
