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

on November 13, according to CNN citing multiple sources familiar with the matter, US intelligence agencies are still investigating the relationship between Nvidia former CEO Jensen Huang and Chinese businessman Alice Huang. The information currently gathered is insufficient to prove that Huang Le acted under instructions from the Chinese government for espionage purposes.

The report states that US intelligence officials disagree on the credibility of the relevant evidence. Some officials at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence believe that characterizations of Huang Le as a Chinese spy are exaggerated, and CIA officials have also not yet concluded that she intentionally relayed intelligence to Beijing.

US Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the Department of Justice and the FBI have not yet reached conclusions regarding Huang Le's identity. Trump also noted that it currently remains unclear whether she is a spy.

Additionally, Megaspeed, a Singapore-based company linked to Huang Le, is a major buyer of Nvidia chips. Since 2024, the US Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce have been investigating the company, focusing primarily on whether restricted AI chips are being diverted to China through third parties.
