Nvidia spy-plot reports
2026-11-06: The New York Times (relayed by The Verge) reports that China's Ministry of State Security recruited Megaspeed executive Alice Huang to spy on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang — enlisted to glean information about American AI chips and to potentially press Nvidia to make its most advanced chips available in China. The Times first reported a "Chinese spy plot" last week; naming the MSS as the recruiting agency is the new detail. The two Huangs, who are not related, have a "close" relationship; President Trump was briefed about it last year and took no action, and three House committees on November 5 asked Jensen Huang to appear for a joint, closed-door briefing on his interactions with Alice Huang. The Verge. Watch: how Jensen Huang responds to the House briefing request, further detail on Alice Huang's industry relationships, and any policy fallout for Nvidia's advanced chips in China.
