three House Republican committee leaders asked. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is scheduled to hold a private conference regarding his relationship with a technology company executive who is believed to be a member of Chinese intelligence services.
“Recent reports raise serious national security concerns regarding China’s access to sensitive U.S. technology and information,” Republican lawmakers said in a letter to Hwang released Thursday, using the acronym for the People’s Republic of China.
They are seeking information about Huang’s communications with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang and Nvidia’s “security protocols against espionage of foreign adversaries,” they wrote in a brief message Wednesday.
The letter does not specify which report it refers to. However, the New York Times reported last week that U.S. intelligence agencies discovered that Alice Fan, a Chinese national who was determined to be passing information to the Chinese government, “had a close relationship” with Jensen Fan.
President Donald Trump himself has a close relationship with Jensen Huang, an advocate for the U.S. artificial intelligence industry, and was briefed on these intelligence findings about a year ago, the Times reported.
Trump “chose to do nothing with that information,” the newspaper said, citing interviews with people briefed on the surveillance and other sources.
The letter to Mr. Huang was signed by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-Fla.), China Select Committee Chairman John Moolener (R-Mich.), and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford (R-Ark.).
Nvidia did not directly respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the letter and confirmation whether Huang would attend a press conference on the proposal.
Instead, it issued a statement that largely mirrored what it had previously sent to the Times, in which a Nvidia spokesperson suggested that Jensen and Alice Huang’s interactions were no different from meetings with other executive clients.
“Our regional cloud customers receive regular business information that is not sensitive NVIDIA trade secrets and do not receive any information related to national security,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
“Meeting with customers is part of a CEO’s job. Mr. Jensen speaks with thousands of customer executives each year,” the spokesperson said. “We are confident that if the U.S. government determines that someone is a threat to U.S. industry, they will let us know.”
A spokesperson for Mast did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for additional information. An email to Megaspeed seeking comment was not immediately returned.
Lawmakers invited the NVIDIA CEO to attend an in-person joint briefing on November 18th. NVIDIA is scheduled to report third quarter results on November 17th.
“China’s access to sensitive U.S. technology is at the heart of the investigative work of our three committees this Congress,” the committee leaders wrote. “It is critical that Congress determines the extent to which America’s national security is at risk.”
