Three Republican House committee chairs requested a joint, closed-door briefing with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about his interactions with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang and Nvidia’s security protocols. Their letter, dated November 4, 2026, asks Huang to appear on November 18 and accept that date or propose an alternative by November 11. The House Foreign Affairs Committee announced the request on November 5. The committee’s announcement and letter specify Room 2172 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
The request came from Brian Mast, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee; John Moolenaar, chair of the Select Committee on China; and Eric A. “Rick” Crawford, chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
The requested briefing puts two issues on the same agenda: Huang’s interactions with Alice Huang and Nvidia’s safeguards against foreign-adversary espionage.
The reported concerns involving Alice Huang and Megaspeed
Reuters reported that U.S. authorities investigated Alice Huang and scrutinized Singapore-based Megaspeed amid suspicions involving access to advanced Nvidia AI chips restricted from export to China. Megaspeed buys Nvidia AI chips, according to Reuters. These reported concerns are the context for the committees’ questions about Huang’s interactions and Nvidia’s security protocols.
A New York Times video report published October 29 said U.S. intelligence concluded Jensen Huang was unaware of Alice Huang’s alleged role. The report attributes that assessment to U.S. intelligence.
Nvidia’s response to the concerns
Reuters reported that Nvidia did not comment on the committee’s letter. On the underlying concerns, the company said Huang speaks with thousands of customer executives each year and that Asian cloud customers receive ordinary business information, not sensitive trade secrets or information relevant to U.S. national security. Nvidia also said it receives U.S. government updates about entities of concern and acts accordingly. The company described Huang’s interactions with Alice Huang as not unusual or unexpected.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun called the report groundless speculation and an attempt to smear China.
