Nvidia Ex-CEO Jensen Huang Summoned to Testify Before U.S. Senate

lefigaro.fr (French) —

Jensen Huang, former CEO of Nvidia, has been summoned to testify before the U.S. Senate next month over his ties to an alleged Chinese spy accused of illegally smuggling advanced chips to Shanghai. The Senate Banking Committee, citing "serious concerns about national security and protection of sensitive American technology," will question Huang publicly on December 3. He resigned Thursday amid a scandal involving his extramarital affair with Alice Huang, who allegedly facilitated illegal chip exports to China. Three House groups will also hold a closed-door hearing on December 1, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testifying. Bloomberg documents show Nvidia chips were smuggled via Megaspeed, a company founded by Alice Huang, to a Shanghai data center. Beijing denies espionage allegations.
