US Intel Links Nvidia CEO's Associate to Chinese Spy

The New York Times reported on Oct. 29 that U.S. intelligence agencies assessed a Chinese executive at a Singapore-based data center company who had maintained close contact with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as a Chinese intelligence asset, according to Business Korea. Following the report, three Republican committee chairs in the U.S. House of Representatives formally requested that Huang attend a closed-door joint briefing to address his reported relationship with the executive, Business Korea reported on Nov. 6. Separately, Korea Times reported on Nov. 7 that Huang's daughter, Madison Huang, a senior director at Nvidia, abruptly canceled a planned visit to Korea, citing sources. Korean media coverage focuses on the allegations and their potential fallout for the chip industry, with the Korea Times also reporting that a U.S. midterm 'blue wave' could pressure memory chip demand from Samsung Electronics and SK hynix.
