Nvidia at the center of the espionage scandal. "Pure slander and defamation"
Guo dismissed allegations of espionage involving Alice Huang, a director at Megaspeed, as unfounded slander against China. The New York Times reported that Huang is suspected of aiding China in circumventing restrictions on advanced AI chips. Despite these suspicions, Nvidia's spokesperson stated that Huang's meetings with CEO Jensen Huang are standard. The U.S. has long sought to restrict China's access to advanced technology, particularly AI chips, but some companies illegally smuggle these components. Megaspeed acts as an intermediary, purchasing Nvidia chips and providing computing power to Chinese firms like Alibaba. Investigations suggest that some chips may be illegally routed to China.
