The New York Times reports that US intelligence briefed Trump roughly a year ago about suspicions that Alice Huang, a Chinese citizen and former Megaspeed executive, had gained direct access to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and was relaying information to Beijing. Officials reportedly suspected she had also helped China skirt export controls to obtain advanced Nvidia chips, but Trump chose not to act on the intelligence, according to sources briefed on the matter.

The New York Times reports that Alice Huang, a Chinese citizen and top executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, developed a close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang that drew scrutiny from US intelligence agencies, which reportedly concluded she was passing information to Beijing. The two were photographed together at social and business events in Taipei in June 2024 and May 2025, though the report found no evidence Huang was aware of her alleged activities. Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer that supplies AI computing to Chinese firms including Alibaba, is separately under US investigation over suspicions it helped circumvent export controls on advanced Nvidia chips.

The New York Times reports that U.S. intelligence agencies spent roughly a year surveilling Alice Huang, a senior executive at Singapore-based AI cloud firm Megaspeed, over concerns she may have been a Chinese intelligence asset. Huang had appeared alongside Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at business dinners in Singapore, and Megaspeed was separately investigated by the Commerce Department in 2025 for allegedly reselling restricted Nvidia chips to Chinese buyers in violation of export rules.
