Nvidia is investigating Jensen Huang’s relationship with a Chinese spy

Nvidia's board of directors has initiated an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, who was reportedly recruited by China's Ministry of State Security to spy on the company. The investigation will examine all available information, despite the board having no reason to believe that national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised. The board's priority is U.S. national and economic security, which is crucial to Nvidia's interests and those of its shareholders. The investigation will be overseen by a committee of independent directors and outside independent counsel, with Jensen Huang cooperating fully. Megaspeed, a customer of Nvidia, is under investigation by the Commerce Department for allegedly smuggling AI chips to China, which are seen as crucial to the US maintaining technological supremacy. President Trump has imposed restrictions on the sale of Nvidia's most powerful chips to Chinese firms, including those sold to Megaspeed. The New York Times reported that Huang had a 'close relationship' with Alice Huang, which was later revealed to be romantic in nature, and US officials believe she was feeding information to Beijing.
