U.S. Intelligence Suspected Megaspeed Executive of Spying for China

U.S. intelligence concluded that Megaspeed executive Alice Huang was gathering information for Beijing and that she had contact with Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, according to an account based on people familiar with classified intelligence. The reported findings have not been publicly substantiated, and the details of any information allegedly obtained or passed to China have not been disclosed. The account said surveillance of Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, revealed her contacts with Jensen Huang. U.S. officials reportedly worried that she could gain access to information about Nvidia or U.S. policy on advanced chip exports. The reporting did not establish that Jensen Huang knowingly shared sensitive information or that Nvidia trade secrets reached the Chinese government.

The company said its chief executive meets with customer executives as part of his job. Nvidia also said it expected the government to notify it if officials believed someone posed a threat to American industry....
