US Ties Restricted Nvidia AI Hardware Smuggled to China to Alleged Espionage Plot

US officials suspect Alice Huang was recruited by Chinese intelligence to target Jensen Huang, who resigned as Nvidia's chief executive officer this week. A company founded by Alice Huang procured restricted semiconductors for a data center in Shanghai, including 52 Super Micro units containing H100 or H200 chips. The facility also contained 22 Dell servers with banned H800 chips diverted from an Nvidia cloud partner in Singapore.
