## Summary

The article links an alleged Chinese espionage plot involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to earlier industrial espionage cases involving Chinese companies and US businesses. The allegations against Huang’s acquaintance, Alice Huang, have been denied by the Chinese government; US authorities are investigating, while Donald Trump has said he does not believe Jensen Huang has reason to worry.

It focuses on two cases. Huawei is facing US allegations of trade-secret theft, fraud and sanctions evasion, which the company denies; its case began in 2018, and charges against its finance chief Meng Wanzhou were dismissed in 2022 under an agreement. In a separate case, wind-turbine maker Sinovel was found guilty in 2018 of stealing technology from AMSC and fined $1.5 million, while AMSC reported losses of more than $550 million and nearly 700 jobs lost.
