Congress summons Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over reported Chinese spying operation

Top Republican lawmakers have asked Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang to appear before Congress after reports that U.S. intelligence officials believe he was targeted by a Chinese spying operation, Ars Technica reports. The chairs of the House committees on China, foreign affairs and intelligence, representatives John Moolenaar, Brian Mast and Rick Crawford, wrote to Huang this week asking him to attend a joint closed-door briefing on November 18. "Recent reports raise significant national security concerns regarding the People's Republic of China's access to sensitive US technology and information," they wrote, adding that Congress must determine "the extent to which US national security has been placed at risk." The New York Times reported last week that the concerns center on Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based cloud company that has bought billions of dollars of Nvidia hardware.
