Singapore Government: The United States provided little assistance in investigating Huang Le Company

The Singaporean government said on Thursday that the United States had provided little assistance in its investigation into Alice Huang. Huang Le is at the center of the espionage case, which has led to the investigation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

The Singaporean government said in a statement that due to "potential false declarations" by Huang Le in connection with her Singapore-registered company Megaspeed, Singaporean authorities withheld her passport from June 2025 to February this year to prevent her from leaving the country. She was eventually allowed to leave the country after receiving a "stern warning" and was banned from re-entering Singapore.

The statement raised new questions about the Trump administration's response to the case and why the U.S. government did not intervene more forcefully. According to a timeline in the statement, Singaporean authorities are still withholding Huang's passport after President Trump was briefed last fall on Huang's relationship with Nvidia's CEO and her alleged role as a Chinese intelligence operative.

The New York Times reported that Taiwan began monitoring Huang Le in 2024 under the guidance of the US government.

Singapore said in a statement that it had sought information from AMD, a U.S. server maker and a close business partner of Nvidia, and that the company had provided only "limited cooperation." AMD, which assembles Nvidia's artificial intelligence chips into servers that can be used in data centers, has been at the center of multiple chip smuggling investigations around the world.

AMD was a supplier to Megaspeed, according to two people familiar with the matter. Megaspeed is incorporated in Singapore and is operated by Huang Le.

Singapore said in a statement that authorities raised the issue of AMD's "limited cooperation" with the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI in July 2025 and "requested their assistance in ensuring the company's cooperation."

"Despite repeated requests, Singapore has so far received limited information or assistance on matters concerning the company," the statement said.

AMD denies that Megaspeed was ever a customer. "Supermicro has not sold any products to Megaspeed and has complied with all applicable U.S. export and re-export control laws," the company said in a statement.

According to Singapore's statement, when questioned, Huang tried to downplay his role at Megaspeed. She was eventually released due to "insufficient evidence regarding the possible false declarations that Megaspeed was under investigation".

She received a "stern warning" and was banned from re-entering Singapore. Police in the country are continuing to investigate Megaspeed.
