Congress calls on NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to brief lawmakers on China intelligence links, to explain his contacts with an alleged Chinese spy.
Their letter follows a New York Times report that US agencies concluded Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore data center firm Megaspeed, was passing information to Beijing.
Intercepts of her communications led officials to him, though they first judged that he didn’t know about her alleged role.
Nvidia says his meetings with her were routine customer contact, and nobody has been charged with a crime.
Nvidia pushed back on a report that U.S. intelligence surveilled someone close to CEO Jensen Huang.
The report centres on Alice Huang of Singapore cloud Megaspeed, whom officials reportedly suspected of passing information to Beijing.
Nvidia says Megaspeed is one of its regional cloud customers, and Huang’s contact with its officials is routine since he meets thousands of customers yearly.
On claims that Megaspeed routed AI chips into China, Nvidia says the allegations were “thoroughly investigated and debunked last year.”
The company also signalled it received no warning from Washington, saying the government would tell it if any person threatened American industry.
