Three Republican committee chairs in the U.S. House of Representatives have requested that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang attend a joint, closed-door briefing. The briefing is to address his reported relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, who is suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset. The lawmakers, including House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party Chairman John Moolenaar, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford, sent a joint letter to Huang on November 4, 2026. They have proposed November 18, 2026, as the date for the briefing, requesting a response or an alternative date by November 11, 2026.
The congressional inquiry stems from recent reports, including one from The New York Times, which cited U.S. intelligence assessments that Alice Huang was passing information to Beijing. Surveillance reportedly revealed she had developed a close relationship with Jensen Huang. The lawmakers stated in their letter that "Recent reports raise serious national security concerns regarding the possibility of China accessing sensitive U.S. technologies and information." They emphasized that "The issues of Chinese infiltration and access to advanced U.S. technology are core investigative matters for the three committees during this session." Congress, they stressed, needs to understand "the extent to which U.S. national security has been exposed to risk."
The request asks Huang to explain Nvidia's security systems designed to protect the company from foreign adversaries and to detail his interactions with Alice Huang. The allegations do not establish any wrongdoing by Jensen Huang himself. Nvidia has previously stated that meetings with customers are routine for a CEO and that regional cloud clients receive only ordinary business information, not data relevant to national security. The company has not yet released a public statement regarding the House's summons.
The scrutiny of Nvidia's operations in China comes as the U.S. continues to implement restrictions on the country's access to advanced semiconductor hardware. Reports suggest that authorities have also investigated Megaspeed for potentially helping clients in China acquire Nvidia chips that are subject to export restrictions. China accounted for approximately $7.88 billion of Nvidia's revenue in the quarter ending July 26, 2026. The Chinese Foreign Ministry has dismissed previous allegations of espionage targeting Nvidia as "groundless speculation."
