WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representatives Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) Subcommittee on the National Security Agency and Cyber, and Darin LaHood (IL-16), Chairman of the Subcommittee, sent a bipartisan letter to the heads of the Department of Justice, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the National Security Agency. The letter urges them to investigate the publicly reported relationship between NVIDIA chief executive Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, a former executive of the Singapore-based firm Megaspeed who has reportedly been linked ot the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Intelligence.

In their letter, the members wrote that the relationship “raises significant national security concerns regarding PRC infiltration into one of the world’s most valuable companies and PRC access to restricted high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) and hardware.” They warned: “In PRC hands, this technology could be used to train military AI systems, accelerate cyber operations against U.S. networks, and expand state surveillance.”
