Three Republican committee chairs in the US House of Representatives have asked Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang to appear for a joint closed door briefing on November 18. The letter, dated November 4, was signed by Brian Mast of Florida, who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee, John Moolenaar of Michigan, who chairs the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and Rick Crawford of Arkansas, who chairs the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Huang has been asked to accept the date or propose an alternative by November 11.
The chairs want to question Huang on two subjects: Nvidia’s security protocols against foreign adversary espionage, and his interactions with Alice Huang, a senior executive at Singapore based data center company Megaspeed International. The request follows an October 29 New York Times report that US intelligence agencies concluded Alice Huang was passing information to the Chinese government and had cultivated a close relationship with the Nvidia chief. The Times reporting does not assert that Jensen Huang knowingly took part in espionage, and neither Alice Huang nor Megaspeed has been charged with any crime. Megaspeed affiliates reportedly bought at least 4.8 billion dollars of Nvidia AI equipment between June 2024 and February 2026, a period when the company was already under investigation over suspected chip diversion to China.
Nvidia says Huang’s interactions with the Megaspeed executive were ordinary business meetings of the kind a chief executive routinely holds with customers, and that he does not give customers national security information. As of November 6 the company had not confirmed whether Huang would attend the briefing.
The timing concentrates the exposure. The requested briefing falls on November 18, one day after Nvidia’s scheduled third quarter earnings on November 17, and the committees said Chinese infiltration and access to cutting edge American technology remain core investigative priorities for this Congress. For investors the issue is not the briefing itself but what follows it: tighter export controls, deeper end customer scrutiny, or restrictions affecting the data center customers through which Nvidia chips reach Asia.
