Report links Jensen Huang's acquaintance to suspected Chinese intelligence asset tied to chip diversion probe

A New York Times report, as relayed by Benzinga, says US officials determined that a Singapore-based data center executive was a Chinese intelligence asset who had risen to a senior role at Megaspeed, a firm suspected of helping China get around AI chip export limits. The report says the executive maintained a relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, raising questions about whether she gained insight into Nvidia operations or US China policy. It adds that the White House was briefed about a year ago and chose not to act, and that companies linked to her kept buying Nvidia chips this year. Nvidia responded that Megaspeed was treated like other regional cloud customers, that CEO meetings with customers are routine, and that diversion allegations had been investigated and dismissed last year. The story sharpens existing questions about Nvidia's China exposure and diversion risk.
