TechCrunch reports that a memo circulated earlier this year claimed technology executive Alice Huang was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security to spy on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, according to multiple media reports. The New York Times was the first to report on the memo, which was reportedly based on US intelligence [2].
The Financial Times subsequently reported that the memo also claimed Jensen Huang had a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed [2]. The headlines of the Financial Times and The Times carry the same claim, described as what the US believes or what a memo claims [1][3].
An Nvidia spokesperson told the NYT that Jensen Huang's interactions with Alice Huang were "not unusual" and that the company does not share classified information with its customers [2].
A headline from Axios says "Congress will investigate" the matter [4]. A separate NYT report, as described by TechCrunch, examined New Matrix, a Chinese company authorised by the US Commerce Department to buy advanced Nvidia chips [2].
