US government suspends export restrictions on companies suspected of spying on Mr. Huang

On the 10th, the British newspaper Financial Times reported that the US Department of Commerce had given up on a Singaporean company suspected of smuggling products from US semiconductor giant Nvidia into China, despite requests from the State Department and others to add it to the export control list. A woman who is believed to be an agent of Chinese intelligence, with whom Nvidia CEO Huang admitted to having an affair, was serving as an executive.

The company suspected of smuggling is Megaspeed. According to reports, the State Department, the Treasury Department, the Department of Defense, and others had requested that the product be added to the export control list to prevent technology leaks. But the Commerce Department has been delaying the addition for the past two months. Megaspeed is still not included in the list. Nvidia has voluntarily suspended shipments for MegaSpeed ​​since June last year.

Meanwhile, the New York Times reported on the 10th that President Trump received a report about Huang's relationship with a woman in May while on a flight to Beijing for the US-China summit. Secretary of State Rubio reportedly gave an explanation. Mr. Huang was accompanying the delegation as part of the delegation.

Trump claimed on the 9th that he "didn't know" at the time. He said it was "not that long ago" that he became aware of the problem.

According to The Information, an American IT media outlet, since 2023, at least $7.5 billion (approximately 1.2 trillion yen) worth of Nvidia semiconductors have gone to Chinese companies. The woman, who is believed to be an agent, had built a corporate network with her husband that spanned China and Singapore in order to procure the company's semiconductors.
