The New York Times accused Huang Le of collecting intelligence on Nvidia, a claim refuted by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

Huang Le, a former executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed, has been accused of collecting intelligence on Nvidia's chip business. US intelligence agencies allege that Huang was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security to gather intelligence on Jensen Huang and the AI chip industry; the Chinese Foreign Ministry has refuted the espionage allegations as slander and defamation. Megaspeed became an Nvidia cloud partner just four days after its change of control. Its Malaysian subsidiary is expected to purchase at least $4.8 billion worth of equipment containing Nvidia chips between June 2024 and February 2026. Huang Le and Huang Jensen met in Singapore in December 2023 and were subsequently seen together twice in Taipei. Taiwan has been monitoring Huang's visits to Taiwan since 2024, and Bloomberg reports that Huang has returned to Beijing. (Sources: The New York Times, Bloomberg)
