纽约时报报道:特朗普忽视有关中国安插人员接近 Nvidia CEO 黄仁勋的情报
Report: Trump did nothing with intel that China planted spy close to Nvidia CEO
《纽约时报》援引匿名情报消息源报道称,约一年前特朗普获知北京通过一名与 Nvidia CEO 黄仁勋有直接接触的人获取报告,但未采取行动,部分原因是为保护 Nvidia 股价并因其与黄仁勋关系密切。
Donald Trump apparently is so aligned with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang—who has become the president’s key advisor on AI—that he ignored intelligence indicating that Huang was the target of a “Chinese spy plot,” and did so partly to protect Nvidia’s stock.
The New York Times spoke with people briefed on US intelligence agencies’ surveillance and granted them anonymity to discuss findings drawn from “classified intelligence.” According to sources, about a year ago, Trump was briefed that “Beijing was getting reports from someone with direct access” to Huang. That “someone” was Alice Huang, or Huang Le, a Chinese citizen and former top executive at a Singapore cloud company called Megaspeed.
According to sources, the US had already suspected that Alice Huang—who is not related to Jensen Huang—was helping China evade export controls to gain access to high-end Nvidia chips through Megaspeed. But it alarmed investigators to discover that she may possibly have used her role at Megaspeed to gain direct access to Jensen Huang. It’s now believed that she perhaps leveraged that closeness to feed intel to China not only on one of America’s leading AI companies, but also to influence Trump’s thinking on AI. As Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted last month ahead of Trump’s AI talks with China President Xi Jinping, “the president is completely aligned with Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia.”
