CEO of Nvidia Corp. Jensen Huang was suspected of “close ties” with the head of Megaspeed, Alice Huang, which American intelligence agencies believe was recruited by the Ministry of State Security of China. This writes The New York Times with reference to a memo circulated among officials of the administration of US President Donald Trump. According to the Financial Times, the couple had not just close contacts, but a romantic relationship.
According to the NYT, US intelligence believes that China recruited a woman to collect information about the head of Nvidia and obtain information about American AI chips. The woman was supposed to influence the company in order to obtain permission to supply chips to China.
Megaspeed is building data centers in Southeast Asia, leasing capacity to Chinese Alibaba. The network of companies associated with Alice Huang is concentrated in Shanghai and Zhejiang province. According to the NYT, the structure has financial ties with the Chinese military through investments in a subsidiary of cybersecurity China Electronics Technology Group, one of the largest manufacturers of military equipment in China.
Nvidia is an American technology company, one of the world’s largest developers of graphics processors (GPUs) and chips for artificial intelligence systems. Huang founded it in 1993. Nvidia ranked second in the world with a market value of about $4.51 trillion.
The company's board of directors later announced an independent investigation. "While the board has no reason to believe that Nvidia's national security or secrets have been breached, the investigation will examine all available information," the company said in a statement.
At the same time, the head of Nvidia himself admitted the fact of adultery. I cheated on my wife... My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I hope that our family will recover from what happened and over time I will be able to regain trust, he wrote in a memo.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry, in turn, called the accusations against Beijing slander. The so-called allegations of espionage by China are unfounded. This is nothing more than slander against China, said ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun.
Amid the scandal, Nvidia shares fell more than 6% in the U.S. premarket and at a low of $176.26.
