American intelligence services spent roughly a year monitoring a senior leader at a Singapore cloud computing business on suspicion of acting as a Chinese spy, according to anonymous sources cited by the New York Times. The official, named Alice Huang or Huang Le, was employed by Megaspeed and appeared in photographs alongside Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang during corporate dinners around Singapore.
Investigators worried that Alice Huang maintained enough closeness to Jensen Huang to collect details regarding Nvidia strategies and his attempts to persuade the Trump Administration to permit shipments of sophisticated technology to China, insiders stated. However, an Nvidia representative rejected these claims in an email to TechCrunch, stating the chief executive treated the Megaspeed employee just like any other regional buyer.
"Jensen's interactions with Ms. Huang are not unusual or unexpected. Meetings with customers are part of a C.E.O.'s job; Jensen talks with thousands of customer executives every year," the representative stated. The business additionally stated that regional cloud clients obtain standard commercial data rather than confidential Nvidia intellectual property, along with zero national security details.
The Commerce Department looked into Megaspeed during 2025 regarding suspicions that the enterprise assisted Chinese entities in bypassing artificial intelligence hardware export rules through reselling restricted processors, the Times previously noted. Alice Huang held a senior leadership position at the organization during that period.
