Main Points
The New York Times has reported that Alice Huang, the chief executive of Singapore‑based Megaspeed, allegedly worked directly for China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) during the company’s rapid expansion. According to the Times, the MSS recruited Huang to gather intelligence on Nvidia’s most advanced GPU hardware and to persuade Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, to lobby for the export of high‑performance GPUs to China. The alleged operation began in 2024, when a photograph surfaced of the two executives together. Megaspeed, which has been building a data‑center in Southeast Asia that uses Nvidia chips and leases capacity to firms such as Alibaba, is said to have been partially shielded from U.S. export controls, according to the Times. Huang, who has also been linked to Taiwanese chipmaker Gigabyte, reportedly met with the U.S. intelligence community. The Times notes that the CIA and the White House declined to comment on the allegations. A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy called the reports “unfounded” and “defamation against China.” In 2025, Jensen Huang reportedly lobbied former U.S. President Donald Trump for increased GPU exports to China. The U.S. government reached an agreement to limit the sale of Nvidia’s second‑most powerful chip, with the U.S. receiving 25 % of the revenue. Nvidia’s most powerful “Blackwell” series, and its successor “Rubin,” were reportedly not to be exported to China, according to a statement from Jensen Huang in May. Nvidia’s spokesperson, John Rizzo, told the Times that the company does not share classified information with clients and that its customers do not lobby the president on export matters. Rizzo added that meetings between the two Huang’s were not unusual for a director who meets with many executives each year. The U.S. House of Representatives has called for a closed‑door briefing with Jensen Huang on November 18, following intelligence reports that linked the two executives. The Times’ coverage is based on the New York Times’ own reporting and a summary by Gizmodo. Article source: 24 Orë | Image credit: 24 Orë
