British media reveals U.S. memo alleging that Jen-Hsun Huang dated female Chinese spy boss

(Central News Agency London, Comprehensive Foreign Reports on the 7th) The Financial Times of the United Kingdom reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that the U.S. government believes that Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of Nvidia, a major artificial intelligence (AI) chip manufacturer, has been in a relationship with a Chinese woman who was recruited by Chinese intelligence agencies.

The report said that U.S. officials wrote a memo earlier this year based on information obtained by U.S. intelligence agencies that Huang had been dating Huang Le, also known as Alice Huang, a senior executive at Singapore data center company Megaspeed. Megaspeed is a Huida customer.

According to people familiar with the matter, the U.S. intelligence community believes that Huang Le has been recruited as a spy by China's Ministry of State Security.

According to people familiar with the matter, the memorandum was provided to a small number of senior US government officials for reference before US President Trump went to Beijing to hold a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The White House and the CIA declined to comment.

Photos and videos of Huang Jen-Hsun and the Megaspeed executive together have been circulated on social media.

Huida declined to comment on the government memo and the claims that Huang Jen-Hsun and Huang Le had a close relationship. Huida has previously said that Huang "meets thousands of senior account executives every year."

Huang Le could not be reached for comment.

Megaspeed is under investigation by the U.S. government for allegedly violating U.S. export controls by smuggling Huida's advanced chips to China. Huida previously launched an internal investigation into the allegations, but concluded that no evidence of wrongdoing was found.

The day before the memo was exposed, Republican congressmen asked Huang to attend a briefing of the House China, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence Committee to answer questions related to the New York Times report. The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence agencies believe Huang is the target of Chinese espionage operations. Members also wish to inquire about Huida's current safety measures.

Megaspeed was spun off from a Chinese gaming company in 2023. The U.S. government has been investigating companies suspected of smuggling advanced chips into China, with the investigation focusing particularly on Southeast Asia. As the competition between the United States and China in the field of AI becomes increasingly fierce, Washington is paying more attention to it.

The U.S. government is increasingly concerned about Beijing's ability to acquire advanced chips, which it believes could accelerate China's military modernization. National security officials have privately expressed dissatisfaction with Huang. Huang personally lobbied Trump earlier this year to allow Huida to export H200 chips to Chinese customers.

Huang has met with Trump many times since he started his second term in 2025. When Trump flew to China for a summit with Xi Jinping in May, Huang was not among the CEOs who left Washington on Air Force One with the president.

People familiar with the matter said that after Trump learned that Huang was not invited to accompany him, he called him. Huang then flew to Alaska and boarded the presidential plane during a layover. In September, Huang Renxun attended the state banquet hosted by Trump for Xi Jinping who visited the United States.
