Makes the timing of this past week's news (post-midterm) very suspect.
Also, several people high up in the current administration (Lutnick, Trump) knew about this and either did nothing or may have actually blocked progress.

After all, if the top CEO at AI company can't be trusted, what does it say about all the other AI companies? etc.
- Nvidia was making billions from China even though they claimed they weren't.
- That was done mostly through Alice Huang's Megaspeed company, which claimed to be a non-Chinese company.
- Alice Huang is a Chinese national.
- Megaspeed jump from a $30 million company in 2023 to a $3 billion company in 2024 thanks to a cash infusion from an unnamed source.
- Jensen and Alice were "very close"; Nvidia employees joking that Alice is "actually still our boss."
The main alarming piece that was missing then was the recent leak that Alice Huang is not just a Chinese national, but that she works for or with Chinese intelligence. It's a scandal without that bit, but that expands it from industrial shell games to a serious national security issue.
This was not a 'leak'; it was an allegation made by the NYT which they claimed was based on unnamed sources within USA intelligence agencies. With no evidence provided.
I know it takes time for stories to pick up steam, but it's 6 months. Why did no one care until now?
