China’s Top Spy Agency Recruited Woman Who Targeted Jensen Huang
A New York Times article reports that, according to U.S. officials' assessment of surveillance, China's Ministry of State Security recruited businesswoman Alice Huang, who had cultivated a close relationship with Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, to collect intelligence on him and potentially influence U.S. chip policy. Her company Megaspeed's data centers rent computing power to Alibaba, giving China a backdoor to restricted Nvidia chips. Republican House committee leaders have requested a closed-door briefing with Huang, while Nvidia and the Chinese embassy dispute the report.
