Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang summoned by Congress over Chinese espionage concerns
Lawmakers want answers about Jensen Huang’s ties to an alleged Chinese intelligence asset.
Top Republican lawmakers have asked Jensen Huang to appear before Congress to answer questions after it was reported that US intelligence officials believe Nvidia’s chief executive has been targeted by a Chinese spying operation.
The chairs of the House committees on China, foreign affairs and intelligence wrote to Huang this week asking him to appear before a joint closed-door briefing for their committees 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,” representatives John Moolenaar, Brian Mast and Rick Crawford wrote.
