US intelligence alleges a Chinese spy, Alice Huang of Megaspeed, targeted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, with previous suspicions of her involvement in Nvidia chip smuggling to China. This claim, partially confirmed with medium confidence, indicates a potential escalation in US-China tech espionage and export control enforcement concerns. An earlier, unconfirmed report suggests President Trump was briefed on a Beijing asset tied to Huang but took no action.
