U.S. intelligence agencies reportedly surveilled Alice Huang, a top executive at Singapore AI cloud firm Megaspeed, for about a year over concerns about her ties to China and a possible effort to gather information from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Anonymous sources told The New York Times that investigators were concerned her proximity to the Nvidia chief at business dinners in Singapore could have given her access to information about Nvidia’s plans and Jensen Huang’s efforts to persuade the Trump administration to permit more advanced technology sales to China. Megaspeed had already drawn U.S. scrutiny in 2025, when the Commerce Department investigated whether the company was helping Chinese firms evade AI-chip export controls by reselling restricted Nvidia chips. Alice Huang, also identified as Huang Le, was a senior Megaspeed executive at that time. Nvidia denied that Jensen Huang shared sensitive information with the Megaspeed executive. A company spokesperson said his meetings with her were ordinary customer interactions and that he speaks with thousands of customer executives each year. Nvidia said regional cloud customers receive standard business information, not trade secrets or information relevant to national security.
