‘The Big Money Show’ panel discusses China’s espionage threat targeting tech companies amid report of an espionage plot targeting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and the country’s struggling economy. House Republicans are demanding answers from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over his alleged relationship with a Chinese intelligence asset, intensifying scrutiny over whether Beijing gained access to sensitive American technology through the chip giant’s business ties. The request follows a New York Times report that Alice Huang, a Chinese national and Megaspeed executive, had been gathering information for Beijing and had developed a close relationship with Jensen Huang. The Times reported that President Donald Trump was briefed on the intelligence findings about a year ago but decided not to act.

Lawmakers are seeking details about Jensen Huang’s interactions with Alice Huang and Nvidia’s security protocols against foreign espionage. The letter was signed by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla.; Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar, R-Mich.; and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford, R-Ark. They invited Huang to a joint in-person briefing on Nov. 18, a day after Nvidia reported its third-quarter earnings. “China’s access to such sensitive U.S. technology is critical to the investigative work of our three committees in this Congress,” the lawmakers wrote, adding that Congress must determine whether U.S. national security was at risk.

Nvidia did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ request for comment. The Times reported that US officials initially did not believe that Jensen Huang knew that Alice Huang was allegedly collecting intelligence for China. It’s unclear if that assessment has changed. Huang has not received any defensive briefings from the government, according to the Times. The scrutiny comes as Jensen Huang has pressured the Trump administration to loosen restrictions on sales of Nvidia chips to China. Earlier this year, Huang joined Trump’s business delegation to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He was reportedly added to the trip at the last minute and secured a seat on Air Force One, underscoring Nvidia’s role in US-China trade and technology talks. The delegation brought together executives from major American companies with deep ties to China, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, and Meta’s Dina Powell McCormick. Financial leaders Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone, Larry Fink of BlackRock, Jane Fraser of Citigroup and David Solomon of Goldman Sachs also joined the trip.CHINA ‘THROUGHT GASOLINE ON THE FIRE’ IN AI DATA CENTER RACE, LAWYERS SAY Charts label top CEOs who attended a high-profile meeting with President Donald Trump and Chinese officials.

Musk is the richest person in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, while Schwarzman and Huang have fortunes in the tens of billions. Together, their companies represent trillions of dollars in corporate power and depend on Chinese consumers, manufacturing and supply chains, even as Washington and Beijing clash over trade, technology and national security. US officials suspect that some chips acquired by Megaspeed may have been smuggled into China.
