The woman was reported to be Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed who US officials believe worked for Chinese intelligence.Megaspeed on Thursday said it takes compliance obligations under US export control laws “extremely seriously” and that it “is committed to working constructively and transparently with the US government”.Nvidia’s 63-year-old boss has spent years lobbying against curbs on sales of advanced chips to China. Last year Trump cleared Nvidia’s H200 chips for export to China despite objections from Republicans and Democrats who fear Chinese dominance in AI technology.China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denied the claims, calling them “entirely groundless, speculative and intended to smear and malign China”.Huang’s position at the top of the $4.2 trillion company hangs in the balance after Nvidia launched an investigation into him on Sunday.
It is unclear whether the tech giant has a succession plan.
