Key Republicans seek briefing from Nvidia CEO over Chinese spy allegations

Top Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives are calling on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to brief Congress this month about a news report alleging he had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who passed information to Beijing, according to a letter seen by Reuters.

The New York Times reported last month that US authorities were investigating Alice Huang, a former executive of Singpore-based company Megaspeed, which buys AI chips from Nvidia. US authorities have scrutinized Megaspeed over suspicionsit helped Beijing gain access to advanced AI chips that are barred from shipment to China.
