Beijing:China has denied allegations made by The New York Times concerning an executive with connections to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, accused of gathering intelligence for Beijing. The report claimed that US President Donald Trump was informed of the situation but did not take any action.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun labeled these accusations as "unsubstantiated" and described them as an attempt to tarnish China's reputation.

The executive in question, Alice Huang, who is not related to Nvidia's CEO, held a senior position at the Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed. This company is already under scrutiny for allegedly aiding China in bypassing US restrictions on advanced AI chips. The report stated that electronic surveillance identified her as a Chinese intelligence asset with a close relationship with Jensen Huang.

In another development, Guo criticized the US Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) forthcoming vote to prevent Chinese telecommunications companies from accessing US phone numbers. He also opposed the FCC's decision to bar Chinese laboratories from testing electronic devices for the US market. Guo argued that such actions obstruct economic and trade exchanges, threatening the interests of companies and consumers in both countries, and asserted that China would take measures to protect its rights.
