Trump ignored intel on China’s Nvidia spy to protect company’s stock, report says
摘要
据《纽约时报》报道，有消息称特朗普曾听取情报简报，内容涉及英伟达CEO黄仁勋身边存在与中国相关的接触风险，但特朗普未予重视，部分原因是为保护英伟达股价。报道称，涉案者Alice Huang（与黄仁勋无亲属关系）曾任新加坡云公司Megaspeed高管，美方怀疑该公司协助规避出口管制。白宫与英伟达方面未在节选内容中作出回应。
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 have used her role at Megaspeed to gain direct access to Jensen Huang. It’s now believed she may have leveraged that closeness to feed China intel 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.”
