China recruited a company executive to spy on Nvidia's CEO

According to The New York Times, Chinese intelligence recruited Alice Huang from Megaspeed to spy on Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang. The Ministry of State Security tasked her with gathering information on American AI chips and potentially influencing the company to make its advanced chips available to China. Megaspeed is a client of Nvidia, and Alice Huang has connections with top leaders in the AI chip industry. The report highlights the close relationship between the two Huangs, although they are not related. Donald Trump was informed about this connection last year but took no action. On November 6, three House committees requested Jensen Huang to appear for a closed-door hearing regarding his interactions with Alice Huang.
