Accra:Megaspeed, a Singapore-based cloud computing company, has announced its readiness to cooperate with US government scrutiny amid allegations of Chinese espionage involving its founder and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
According to Anadolu Agency – English, Megaspeed has expressed its willingness to work with US authorities, with Chairman and CEO James Tan Yong Pong stating that the company has already cooperated with inspections by the US Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security. The company emphasized its commitment to compliance with US export control laws, describing it as a fundamental priority.
Megaspeed has also retained a US law firm to conduct a comprehensive review of its graphics processing units and verify its export control compliance practices. The company aims to demonstrate its transparency and adherence to US laws through these actions.
The allegations come amid reports of Jensen Huang's alleged relationship with Megaspeed founder Alice Huang, who is suspected by US authorities of having links to Chinese intelligence. The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia's board is preparing to oust Huang following revelations of two extramarital affairs and an investigation into potential targeting by foreign intelligence.
In response to the espionage allegations, China has rejected the claims, accusing the US of using them to justify technology restrictions. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning has called for the US to stop fabricating narratives about Chinese spies, emphasizing China's reliance on independent innovation and open cooperation. Mao also stated that she was unaware of Alice Huang's current whereabouts.
