NYT: US Officials Say Megaspeed Executive Alice Huang Cultivated Jensen Huang to Pass Nvidia Intel to Beijing

US officials now believe Megaspeed executive Alice Huang maintained a close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in order to pass intelligence back to Beijing, according to NYT reporting published Wednesday. Megaspeed, Nvidia's largest Southeast Asia customer, is suspected of funneling roughly $2B in restricted H100/H800 chips to China through Malaysian and Indonesian subsidiaries before shutting down orders in mid-2025 amid regional crackdowns. The piece elevates ongoing US probes of ~$300M in Nvidia-chip smuggling indictments and hundreds of PLA-linked procurement requests since 2019.
