US intelligence officials have accused a woman close to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang of working as a spy for China. According to a report by the New York Times, the woman, identified as Alice Huang, was allegedly recruited by a Chinese spy agency to gather information on Huang. She is an executive at Megaspeed International, an Asian technology company.
The accusations surfaced in an intelligence memo shared with the Trump administration. The memo detailed American surveillance conducted on Huang, though the Times did not provide further specifics about the nature of the information she was supposed to collect.
The report highlights growing concerns over espionage and intellectual property theft involving US technology firms. Nvidia, a leader in AI and graphics processing, has been at the center of geopolitical tensions between the US and China.
