China denies spying on NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang amid chip export restrictions
· Technology · The Hindu, India Today
The New York Times reported on October 29, 2026, that U.S. intelligence concluded a Chinese executive linked to Singapore-based Megaspeed data centre had been funneling information to Beijing. Beijing dismissed the report on October 30, 2026, as groundless speculation. The executive, Alice Huang (also known as Huang Le), developed a close relationship with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, potentially offering insights into U.S. President Donald Trump's thinking on AI ahead of his talks with China's President Xi Jinping next month. Mr. Trump was briefed on the findings roughly a year ago and chose not to act.
Why it matters
The report highlights escalating U.S.-China tech tensions, with NVIDIA's AI chips at the centre of export restrictions, and raises questions about how close personal ties between executives could influence diplomatic negotiations on AI policy.
