长平观察:黄仁勋的间谍疑云,不只是桃色新闻

英伟达CEO黄仁勋因涉嫌与中国情报人员有亲密关系面临独立调查,其对华芯片游说政策遭审视。

Quick Look

英伟达CEO黄仁勋因涉嫌与被指控为中国情报人员的女子有亲密关系而面临独立调查。此前美国情报备忘录披露该女子曾被招募为目标,引发对其长期游说宽松对华芯片政策动机的性质性质质疑。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

美国官员认定新加坡数据中心企业Megaspeed的中国籍高管Alice Huang为情报人员,曾与英伟达CEO黄仁勋接触。英伟达董事会已启动独立调查。

市场成功人士头上总是罩着光环,直到他们自己跳起来戳破。卷入桃色间谍疑云的芯片大佬黄仁勋,是最新的一例。

就AI产业而言,黄仁勋堪称中共的“天乙贵人”。他得到了什么回报?据美国情报评估,中共送给他一只“红色燕子”。这只“燕子”已经让他名声扫地,甚至还有可能让他付出更多代价。

坊间舆论纷纷跳出两个字:活该。

对于没有政治道德、支持专制政权从中牟利、还要扮演亲善大使的人,很抱歉,我的同情心也相当有限。

周日(11月8日),英伟达(Nvidia)董事会宣布,针对有报道称公司创始人兼首席执行官黄仁勋成为外国情报行动的目标一事,由独立董事组成委员会,在外部律师协助下展开独立调查。同一天,据报道,黄仁勋在致员工信中承认了一段婚外关系,并向妻子、家人和同事道歉。

假如美国情报部门的评估成立,那么他应该道歉的对象还远远不够,甚至道歉本身也远远不够。

黄仁勋为什么积极游说对华宽松?

事情始于《纽约时报》10月29日的一篇报道。报道说,美国官员认定,新加坡数据中心企业Megaspeed的中国籍女性高管Alice Huang(亦名黄乐)是向北京传递信息的情报人员,她与黄仁勋建立了密切联系。美国自2024年起调查这家公司,怀疑它帮助中国绕过先进芯片的出口限制。

11月6日,《纽约时报》又披露了一份今年早些时候流传于白宫高层的美国情报备忘录:这名中国籍高管被中国国家安全部招募,目标是黄仁勋。《金融时报》随后报道,备忘录还提到两人有亲密关系。

这桩疑云之所以引人注目,是因为黄仁勋长期是美国对华芯片政策中最有分量的游说者。他主张放宽对华芯片销售限制,理由是:拒绝向中国出售美国芯片挡不住中国发展人工智能,只会把市场让给华为。

按照他的这套理论,美国对华大多禁售和限售都适得其反,甚至助纣为虐;中国进口西方先进产品,也是在自毁长城。

2025年,特朗普政府先是暂停H20芯片对华销售,后来又在英伟达同意把部分对华销售收入的15%交给美国政府之后发放了许可。

一边是情报部门怀疑他身边有人利用亲密关系为北京搜集信息,一边是他自己在华盛顿全力游说对华松绑。他到底是相信了自己的那套荒唐理论,还是商业动机吞噬了政治道德,还是中共的“红色燕子”筑巢成功?

中国有多渴求英伟达芯片来“自毁长城”?

中国到底有多么渴望进口西方先进芯片来“自毁长城”呢?我们来看三个例子。

美国司法部2025年公布的一起案件显示,四名被告涉嫌虚报最终目的地,把英伟达A100等高性能GPU非法出口到中国,已完成的出口就有400枚A100。

11月7日,《纽约时报》又报道,一家获美国商务部授权购买英伟达先进芯片的中国公司,在登记地址只留下一个“空荡荡的外壳”。

今年5月,中国AI领先者DeepSeek的创始人梁文锋,在一场约四小时的投资者闭门会上谈到算力。据网上流传的会议文字稿,他说:“我们现在大概是两万张H等效,接下来几个月我们还会有大批量的机器买过来,基本上都是英伟达。”他表示,只要买得到,就想把所有的钱都换成英伟达的卡。他还说,DeepSeek已与华为合作,但华为能提供的算力有限。

特朗普:“我觉得他是个正直的人”

中国有强烈的芯片需求,又派出了“红色燕子”,黄仁勋又有一套说辞,这些都不等于中国就能得到芯片,除非还有一个自私愚蠢而又不把国家利益放在首位的总统。说巧不巧,刚好美国就有这样一位总统。

黄仁勋是特朗普的AI顾问之一,5月曾随特朗普访问北京。据《纽约时报》报道,特朗普大约一年前就听取了有关这名中国籍女高管的简报,但没有采取行动,原因包括不愿干预英伟达的芯片销售、担心中美贸易关系恶化。

本月初,美国众议院外交事务委员会主席马斯特(Brian Mast)、中国问题特别委员会主席穆勒纳尔(John Moolenaar)和情报委员会主席克劳福德(Rick Crawford)联名致信,邀请黄仁勋11月18日出席闭门简报,说明他与这名高管的接触,以及英伟达防范外国间谍的措施,并要求他在11月11日前确认是否出席。信中写道:“中国获取这些敏感的美国技术,是我们三个委员会本届国会调查工作的核心。”

特朗普显得对“敏感的美国技术”毫不敏感。《纽约时报》的报道刊出后,他10月31日在佛罗里达对记者说:“我很尊重黄仁勋……他是一个伟大、杰出的人”,尽管他说“我们会非常仔细地调查。”被问到黄仁勋是否还会继续担任他的顾问,他表示:“我愿意说是。除非我们发现了相反的情况。”

11月8日,特朗普接受采访称不后悔自己当时没有采取行动,并替黄仁勋说话:“我觉得他是个正直的人,他这么做应该是有理由的。”被问及下週会不会偕同黄仁勋一起出访亚洲,特朗普说:“我不知道,但肯定会吧。”

特朗普领导的“MAGA”运动号称“美国优先”。在这桩可能损害美国利益的间谍疑案面前,面对特朗普的言行,不知道他的追随者怎么看待这句口号?

“兴许解放台湾,打到最后就差这两颗子弹!”

黄仁勋生于台湾台南,九岁移居美国。英伟达的芯片由台积电代工,矽品等企业负责封装测试,鸿海、广达、纬创组装AI服务器。他多次说英伟达离不开台湾的供应商。

黄仁勋在台湾拥有大量粉丝,每次访台总能吸引大批民众和媒体关注。他也很享受这种偶像待遇,经常亲切地为粉丝签名合照,还通过媒体分享自己的奋斗经历。2024年5月,他在台北夜市说,“台湾是世界上最重要的国家之一”。

另一方面,黄仁勋没有理由不知道,美国政府限制先进芯片对华出口的理由,是这类算力具有军民两用性质,可能增强解放军的能力,而解放军对台湾赤裸裸的军事威胁有增无减。

黄仁勋对此有过辩解:中国军方不太可能依赖美国芯片,因为供应随时可能被切断。

按照他的这套理论,任何短期的偷盗、抢劫和交易都没人做了,万一依赖上了怎么办?

黄仁勋大概没有看过张艺谋那部在中国大陆未获公映的电影《活着》。大炼钢铁时,干部要收走富贵心爱的皮影箱,拆下上面的铁去炼钢。镇长说,“这铁至少可以造两颗子弹。兴许解放台湾,打到最后就差这两颗子弹!”

在电影里,这是对大炼钢铁运动的讽刺。换成今天的芯片和解放军的装备,台湾人可能会觉得这个笑话有点过于“暗黑”了。
