The Singapore-based customer of Nvidia bought chips for data centers, and as the New York Times reported on November 9, U.S. officials were concerned that Megaspeed was illegally routing sophisticated chips to China.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Nvidia chips require export licenses from the U.S. Commerce Department. It appears, at least at this moment, that China was able to illicitly obtain Nvidia chips because of the Huang-Huang affair. In fact, Alice Huang had recently been bragging to investors about her access to Nvidia chips and about Megaspeed’s sale of these devices to Alibaba, the Chinese tech giant.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Even more disturbing is Commerce’s leniency when it comes to chip sales. McGuire, now at the Council on Foreign Relations, points out that the department “has publicly stated it will not enforce those regulations, and also has not bothered to replace them.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Trump administration in May of last year rescinded Biden-era rules that imposed limits on such transactions. Jensen Huang has repeatedly called for the scrapping of chip-export rules.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Worse, Lutnick’s Commerce Department has issued export licenses for Nvidia chips even when there was a high probability of illicit diversion to China. The New York Times, for instance, reported that Commerce approved a chip export license to New Matrix, which appears to be nothing more than a “ghost office,” a front operation for China.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“The sale of chips to New Matrix appears to be part of a pattern that has concerned technology experts inside and outside the government: The Commerce Department is giving clearance to buy and handle Nvidia chips to Chinese companies with ties to firms that have been subject to national-security-related trade restrictions,” the paper noted on November 7. Approvals, that publication reports, are going to firms with ties to companies blacklisted by the U.S. government or are military contractors in China<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The president was informed in October 2025 that China had targeted Jensen Huang but did not say anything to the Nvidia boss or to the American public until now.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

From what we now know, his government fundamentally failed to protect America. Trump, regrets or no regrets, has an obligation to explain it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The scandal triggered by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s sexual relationship with a suspected Chinese agent could bring down senior Trump administration officials and damage President Donald Trump himself. At this moment, the blast radius is expanding fast.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On November 8, Huang admitted to an extramarital relationship and apologized to family members and Nvidia employees. The admission followed the revelation that he had a long-running affair with Alice Huang, a suspected<\/a> Chinese Ministry of State Security asset. He had previously lied<\/a> about the affair.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On the same day, November 8th, the company announced<\/a> an internal investigation of Huang but did not relieve him of his duties.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In view of the allegations, Huang should be suspended immediately, pending the conclusion of the Nvidia probe.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This is no ordinary sex scandal. Ms. Huang \u2014 no relation \u2014 is an executive of Megaspeed. The Singapore-based customer of Nvidia bought chips for data centers, and as the New York Times reported<\/a> on November 9, U.S. officials were concerned that Megaspeed was illegally routing sophisticated chips to China.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Bloomberg reports<\/a> that Nvidia underreported to the U.S. government the number of chips it had sold to Megaspeed, an action that helped that hide illicit diversions of chips.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Nvidia chips require export licenses from the U.S. Commerce Department. It appears, at least at this moment, that China was able to illicitly obtain Nvidia chips because of the Huang-Huang affair. In fact, Alice Huang had recently been bragging<\/a> to investors about her access to Nvidia chips and about Megaspeed’s sale of these devices to Alibaba, the Chinese tech giant.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Jensen Huang is not the only figure at risk. The New York Times reported that late last year the Commerce Department spiked an investigation into Nvidia sales to Megaspeed after an unusual contact from Tim Teter, Nvidia’s general counsel, to Commerce Department investigators. Teter, before reaching out to the investigators, had apparently spoken to Commerce Department Under Secretary for Industry and Security Jeffrey Kessler.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The investigation was swiftly transferred to the Department of Justice. It is not known whether DOJ has pursued this matter.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“It is beyond inappropriate that leadership at the Department of Commerce apparently discussed an ongoing law enforcement investigation involving Megaspeed and Nvidia with Nvidia’s General Counsel,” wrote<\/a> Chris McGuire, a former State Department and National Security Council official, on X.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It would also be unusual for Kessler to interfere in an ongoing matter without the approval of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, to whom Kessler directly reported.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The New York Times account has been confirmed in a general outline by Bloomberg reporting about Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security. “In the weeks that followed Teter’s call,” Bloomberg reports<\/a>, “BIS staff were restricted in their ability to look into Megaspeed, including being told not to mention the company in external communications and having to route all requests of Nvidia through Kessler or seek his approval for outreach.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Even more disturbing is Commerce’s leniency when it comes to chip sales. McGuire, now at the Council on Foreign Relations, points out that the department “has publicly stated it will not enforce those regulations, and also has not bothered to replace them.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

McGuire was referring to regulations restricting bulk chip sales. The Trump administration in May of last year rescinded Biden-era rules that imposed limits on such transactions. Jensen Huang has repeatedly called for the scrapping of chip-export rules.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Worse, Lutnick’s Commerce Department has issued export licenses for Nvidia chips even when there was a high probability of illicit diversion to China. The New York Times, for instance, reported<\/a> that Commerce approved a chip export license to New Matrix, which appears to be nothing more than a “ghost office,” a front operation for China.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“The sale of chips to New Matrix appears to be part of a pattern that has concerned technology experts inside and outside the government: The Commerce Department is giving clearance to buy and handle Nvidia chips to Chinese companies with ties to firms that have been subject to national-security-related trade restrictions,” the paper noted on November 7. Approvals, that publication reports, are going to firms with ties to companies blacklisted by the U.S. government or are military contractors in China.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

There are also concerns about Trump himself.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The president was informed<\/a> in October 2025 that China had targeted Jensen Huang but did not say anything to the Nvidia boss or to the American public until now. On November 8, Trump told reporters, in the words of the New York Times<\/a>, that “he had no regrets about his own lack of action.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps there are good reasons for the president to have failed to act, but he now owes the American public an explanation, especially if there were, as is almost certain, illicit diversions of advanced Nvidia chips to China in the intervening period.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

From what we now know, his government fundamentally failed to protect America. Trump, regrets or no regrets, has an obligation to explain it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
