Chinese spies are suspected of spying on Huida AI chips, Trump expresses support for Huang Renxun for the first time

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has been implicated in Chinese espionage suspicions. U.S. President Trump said on October 31 that the United States is paying close attention to relevant reports, and hoped that Huang Jen-Hsun would be safe, emphasizing that the United States should protect outstanding talents. This incident has attracted attention and is also related to Huang Renxun's experience in advising Trump on artificial intelligence (AI) policy and accompanying Trump in his visit to Beijing in May this year to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

According to a report in the New York Times on October 29, U.S. intelligence officials determined that a Chinese company executive related to a Singapore data center company and who had contact with Huang Renxun continued to transmit information to Beijing. China refuted the reports as "baseless speculation."

"AFP" reported that Trump said in an interview with the media in Florida on October 31 that he respected Huang Renxun, but had not previously understood the specific circumstances of the incident. He said that he hoped that Huang Renxun would be well and called Huang Renxun a "great and outstanding talent." The United States should protect these outstanding people. Trump also said that the United States will understand the matter very closely.

When asked whether he would continue to have Huang Jen-Hsun as an adviser, Trump said he hoped so. Unless evidence to the contrary is found, he has always believed that Huang Jen-Hsun acted aboveboard. However, Trump also admitted that this involves very complex issues.

"AFP" further highlighted the sensitivity of this incident: Huang Renxun is not only Trump's AI policy adviser, but also accompanied Trump on his visit to Beijing in May this year and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The report mentioned that the Taiwan-born technology giant had advocated selling the company's chips to China in the past, and Beijing is currently accelerating the development of its own semiconductor industry, which makes the geopolitical background of this case more complicated.
