China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) has come under scrutiny following reports that US intelligence officials suspect it recruited businesswoman Alice Huang to gather information about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The two individuals are not related.
According to reports by The Financial Times and The New York Times, the alleged recruitment is being investigated amid concerns about Chinese intelligence operations targeting America's technology sector.
Jensen Huang recently acknowledged an affair, but there is no confirmation that sensitive information was obtained or shared.
Reports of suspected Chinese intelligence activity extend to American universities and technology companies. A Stanford newspaper previously reported an alleged MSS recruitment operation targeting sensitive research and innovation.
CNBC also highlighted growing concerns about Chinese cyber espionage targeting AI assets.
