China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) rejected allegations against a Singapore-based data center executive after The New York Times reported that U.S. officials had linked her to Chinese intelligence.
At a Friday briefing, MFA spokesperson Guo Jiakun said the reports lacked substantiation and targeted China. “Relevant reports are unsubstantiated. They are nothing but smears against China,” Guo said.
The Times reported that U.S. officials had concluded Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, was a Chinese intelligence asset. The report said the allegations concerned intelligence work for Beijing. It also said Huang held a senior role at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed and was not related to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
The Times further reported that President Donald Trump received a briefing on the alleged activity about a year earlier and took no action.
Bloomberg News separately reported comments by Jensen Huang about Nvidia’s relationship with Megaspeed. EconoTimes covered his response in an earlier report.
