Report suggests chinese intelligence agency recruited executive to monitor Nvidia CEO

The New York Times has reported that the Ministry of State Security (MSS) enlisted Alice Huang, an executive from Megaspeed, to gather intelligence on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The objective of this recruitment was reportedly to obtain information regarding American AI chips and potentially persuade the company to make its most advanced chips accessible to China. Megaspeed is noted as a customer of Nvidia. Furthermore, the report indicates that Alice Huang maintains professional connections with high-level executives across the AI chip sector, including leaders at Gigabyte. This development follows a recent report from The New York Times last week, which indicated that Jensen Huang was already identified as a target in a Chinese spy plot.
