What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe New York Times reports that U. S. intelligence agencies concluded Alice Huang was gathering information for Beijing, and that she had a close relationship with Nvidia's Jensen Huang.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentShe was a senior executive at Megaspeed, the Singapore data center company that sells Nvidia chips' computing power to Alibaba.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe New York Post says her reporter job at Hunan TV doesn't check out on the company website.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me finish, because I think we're all being unfair. Nvidia calls Megaspeed a typical regional cloud customer. That's a company declining to be dramatic.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTheir spokesperson says the interactions were not unusual or unexpected. That's the sentence you want to hear about your own meetings.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA reporter with no profile on her own station's site. That's a creator with zero posts and a very strong following.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWith all due respect, there's no evidence he knew anything. The report says so, and it doesn't even address whether it was romantic.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIntelligence officials reportedly updated the president about a year ago, and he opted against taking action.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA year.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhich is a very thorough review process. I'd call it a patience-forward national security posture. Rated four out of ten for urgency.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHuang never got a defensive briefing. That's the warning Americans sometimes get when a foreign service is targeting them. He got the targeting, not the warning.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe's the only one at this table who didn't get the memo.
