CNN: U.S. intelligence agencies lack sufficient evidence to confirm Alice Huang as a Chinese spy; internal disagreement over findings

深潮 TechFlow reported on November 13 that, according to CNN citing multiple sources familiar with the matter, U.S. intelligence agencies are still investigating the relationship between former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang; the intelligence currently available is not sufficient to prove that Alice Huang engaged in espionage at the direction of the Chinese government.

According to the report, U.S. intelligence officials disagree on the credibility of the relevant evidence. Some officials at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence believe that public descriptions of Alice Huang as a Chinese spy are exaggerated, and CIA officials have not yet determined that she knowingly transmitted intelligence to Beijing.

U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department and the FBI have not reached a conclusion on Alice Huang's identity. Trump also said it remains unclear whether she is a spy.

In addition, Megaspeed, a Singapore-based company linked to Alice Huang, is a major buyer of NVIDIA chips. The U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce have been investigating the company since 2024, focusing on whether restricted AI chips were transshipped to China through third parties.
