FBI Probes Whether Chinese Spy Targeted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang

tagesspiegel.de (German) —

The FBI is investigating whether Jensen Huang, CEO of chipmaker Nvidia, was targeted by a suspected Chinese spy, Alice Huang, amid an alleged affair, prompting an internal Nvidia probe into potential leaks of business secrets. The investigation follows reports that Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, may have been recruited by Chinese intelligence. Nvidia has launched its own review, while President Donald Trump publicly defended Huang, stating he believes the CEO was unaware of the alleged espionage. The case unfolds against strained US-China relations, with Trump declining to raise it with President Xi Jinping. Huang, a prominent Trump ally, has received awards and access to the president, while Nvidia contributed $25 million to Trump's ballroom project.
