The New York Times has revealed more details about China's efforts to spy on NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. In late October, the publication reported that China used Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore data center firm Megaspeed, to spy on the NVIDIA CEO. Now, the publication has revealed that it was China's Ministry of State Security, the country's main intelligence agency and its CIA counterpart, that recruited Alice Huang to gather information on him.
