China Denies Nvidia Spy Allegations as Lawmakers Push for Stricter Chip Export Controls
China dismissed a New York Times report alleging that Alice Huang, a businesswoman linked to Singapore-based Megaspeed, acted as a Chinese intelligence asset targeting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. While Beijing called the claims groundless, US intelligence officials say they monitored Huang for years. The report has intensified bipartisan pressure on Congress to tighten AI chip export restrictions to China, despite Nvidia’s insistence that its interactions with Huang were routine business engagements.
