The New York Times says U.S. intelligence watched a Megaspeed executive close to Jensen Huang over alleged China ties; Nvidia denies any leak.

The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, reports U.S. intelligence watched Alice Huang (Huang Le), a top executive at Singapore firm Megaspeed, for about a year over possible China ties. Officials say she is close to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and could have exposed company plans and efforts to win Trump administration approval to ship more advanced technology to China. The Times says President Trump was briefed about a year ago and Jensen Huang was not warned because officials believed he did not know. A Malaysian sister company bought at least $4.8 billion of AI hardware containing Nvidia chips from June 2024 through February 2026, and authorities suspect Megaspeed helped China obtain the chips. Nvidia denies any sensitive leak, Megaspeed announced an internal review, and China’s embassy called the claims groundless.
