Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was summoned by Congress on November 9, 2026, amid allegations that he had interactions with Alice Huang, an executive from Megaspeed International suspected to be a Chinese spy. The summons came after reports surfaced linking Alice Huang to illicit shipments of restricted Nvidia chips to China in violation of US export controls. In response, Nvidia's shares dropped by 8% on Wall Street, losing hundreds of billions of dollars in value before recovering slightly.
Huang, who has been known for his public appearances with royalty and visits to the White House, said he would fully cooperate with the investigation. He also addressed an affair with Alice Huang without providing further details, stating that he is committed to protecting Nvidia and supporting America's national security. Beijing has denied any espionage claims related to this incident.
Despite ongoing security concerns, and warnings by MI5 of the threat posed by Beijing to UK national security, ministers gave the go-ahead to China’s new mega-embassy in London earlier this year.
