Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang summoned to Congress over alleged Chinese spy ties
–
Neutral summary
Three Republican House committee chairs — John Moolenaar (Select Committee on China), Brian Mast (Foreign Affairs) and Rick Crawford (Intelligence) — have sent a letter to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang asking him to appear at a joint closed-door briefing on November 18. The request follows reports from The New York Times and Financial Times about his alleged romantic relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, whom US intelligence believes was an asset of China's Ministry of State Security. According to The New York Times, President Donald Trump was briefed on the intelligence findings about a year ago but chose not to act, reportedly to avoid complicating trade relations with Beijing. The Wall Street Journal reported that officials in at least three countries had concerns that Alice Huang was passing information to the Chinese government, potentially including sensitive details about Nvidia chips. Nvidia has denied the allegations, citing Huang's earlier statement that his relationship with her was ordinary business contact. Democratic Senator Chris Coons promised a probe, saying: “Congress will investigate and get answers.” The case has raised questions about the security of the US technology industry, according to sources.
