US intelligence says Alice Huang spied for China, raising Nvidia security questions

theguardian.com —

US intelligence reportedly believes Alice Huang, a Shanghai executive romantically linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, was recruited by Chinese intelligence to spy for Beijing, raising security concerns about the AI industry and Trump's ties to Nvidia. The affair, revealed last month, has wiped about $600bn off Nvidia's share price as the board considers ousting Huang. Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive, allegedly passed information to China, though evidence remains classified and both companies deny wrongdoing. Jensen Huang, close to Trump, was briefed on the relationship by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, yet Trump has defended him. Experts note China's extensive espionage operations, but question whether the "honeytrap" theory fits modern intelligence practices.
