A memo circulated among top Trump administration policymakers last spring cited intelligence that Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman close to Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang, was an asset of China’s Ministry of State Security, according to people briefed on the intelligence. The assessment said she was recruited to collect information on Jensen Huang and potentially influence Nvidia’s position on supplying its most advanced artificial-intelligence chips to China. The matter has drawn congressional scrutiny as Democrats seek control of regulatory committees after the election and Republicans plan tougher chip export controls. Three Republican House members have asked Jensen Huang to appear at a briefing on whether he was targeted by a Chinese intelligence agent. His relationship with President Donald Trump, including his appointment to Trump’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, is unlikely to shield Nvidia from intensified Washington scrutiny, according to Semafor.
