The head of Nvidia was a target of spies? China denies the allegations about the mysterious manager

"The above-mentioned reports are baseless, pure slander and slander against China," Guo said during a regular briefing in Beijing, when asked about the publication of The New York Times.

"NYT" about the role of a manager

The daily, citing people familiar with the intelligence findings, reports that Alice Huang (Huang Le) is a member of the management board of the Singaporean company Megaspeed, which deals with data centers. The article did not specify what information the woman was supposed to provide to Beijing. However, American agencies allegedly established that it was actively cooperating with the Chinese authorities.

The administration in Washington has long suspected that Alice Huang was helping China bypass restrictions on access to advanced AI chips. However, "NYT" reported that the manager maintains close contacts with Jensen Huang, head of Nvidia from Taiwan. The newspaper did not describe in detail the nature and level of intimacy of their relationship.

Trump knew?

According to the newspaper, US President Donald Trump has known about the case for a year but did not take action for fear of disruptions to chip exports. Nvidia spokesman John Rizzo said Huang's meetings with the manager "are not unusual" because contacts with customers are a standard part of the company's CEO's job.
