- Singapore says it received limited help from US authorities.

## Summary

A scandal involving Nvidia founder Jensen Huang and Singapore data centre firm Megaspeed has drawn attention to the city-state’s role in the global chip trade and the difficulty of policing suspected diversions to China. Singapore has built its economy around open access to international markets, but US export controls restrict advanced American chips from reaching Chinese companies.

Singapore was Nvidia’s second-largest billing centre last year, accounting for nearly a fifth of its revenue, although less than 1% of sales there involved chips that entered the country. Authorities have investigated whether Megaspeed and other firms falsely declared where servers exported through Singapore would go, and sought information from the US about supplier Supermicro. Singapore says it found insufficient evidence of wrongdoing by Alice Huang; its investigations continue, and no charges have yet been brought in the Megaspeed case.
