Megaspeed has tied its public comment to Huang's departure in 2025. It has not, in the material reviewed, addressed the separate allegations about chip flows beyond saying they lack verifiable evidence.
The statement comes as Megaspeed remains under scrutiny over whether it helped steer restricted Nvidia artificial intelligence chips toward China. Reuters reported that the company says those allegations lack verifiable evidence.
Huang has been described as an alleged Chinese spy who had an affair with Nvidia's former chief executive, Jensen Huang. Those claims have not been established in the material available here.
Accounts published late last year said she was being investigated for chip smuggling.
The controversy has also raised questions about how much the US government knew. According to those accounts, President Donald Trump was allegedly warned about the affair and did not react.
Dig deeper
Who is Jensen Huang?
He co-founded Nvidia and is its chief executive. The company designs the advanced AI chips covered by US export limits on sales to China.
What is Nvidia?
Nvidia is a US chip designer whose processors power much of modern artificial intelligence, and whose most powerful chips face tight US export rules aimed at China.
Why does China matter here?
China is the destination named in allegations that restricted Nvidia AI chips were steered around US export controls, claims the company under scrutiny says lack verifiable evidence.
What are the restricted Nvidia chips?
They are advanced AI processors that Washington bars or tightly licenses for China so they are harder to use for military or surveillance advances.
Who is President Donald Trump in this story?
He is the US president, whose administration oversees chip export rules. Claims that he was warned about an affair and did not react have not been established.
Why does this matter?
It raises questions about enforcement of US chip export limits, what officials knew, and how far unproven personal allegations should be treated as fact.
