U.S. officials now believe a Chinese businesswoman who built a close relationship with Nvidia chief Jensen Huang was working directly for China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), Beijing’s main spy agency. People briefed on American surveillance say she was recruited to gather information on Huang, as part of an effort to learn more about U.S. artificial intelligence chips. Her handlers also hoped to nudge Nvidia toward making its most advanced chips available to China.
\n\nThe claims have not been proven in public, and they come from unnamed sources.
\n\nPeople who have met her say she speaks fluent English and has ties at the top of the AI chip world, including with Jensen Huang and the leaders of Gigabyte, a major builder of Nvidia supercomputers. She has gone to industry conferences and private dinners with executives. It is not clear when she first met Huang. The two were photographed together at a bar in Taipei in 2024.
\n\nMegaspeed is tied to a web of companies and investors based around Shanghai and Zhejiang province, which used connections with local Shanghai officials to move aggressively from mobile video games into data centers. Those are the facilities that supply the computing power behind AI.
