根据美国众议院中国问题特别委员会的一份声明，约翰·穆利纳尔、布赖恩·马斯特和里克·克劳福德于周三发出了这封信。他们分别领导众议院中国委员会、外交委员会和情报委员会。黄仁勋必须在11月11日之前回复是否同意或提出另一个日期。
John Moolenaar, Brian Mast, and Rick Crawford sent the letter on Wednesday, according to a China Select Committee statement. They lead the China, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence committees. Huang has until 11 November to say yes or offer another date.
这一要求是在《纽约时报》10月29日的一篇报道之后提出的。《纽约时报》称，美国间谍机构因爱丽丝·黄与中国的联系对其进行了大约一年的监视。官员们担心她可能会获悉英伟达的计划。
The request follows a New York Times report on 29 October. The Times said US spy agencies had watched Alice Huang for about a year over her ties to China. Officials feared she could learn about Nvidia’s plans.
《纽约时报》还报道称，官员们不认为黄仁勋知道她可能在为中国收集情报。两人均未被起诉。这两人没有亲属关系。
The Times also reported that officials did not believe Jensen Huang knew she might be gathering information for China. Neither of them has been charged. The two are not related.
据《福布斯》报道，购买英伟达芯片的新加坡公司Megaspeed表示，已聘请外部律师调查这些指控。美国官员还调查了该公司是否帮助中国获取了受限制的英伟达芯片。
Megaspeed, a Singapore firm that buys Nvidia chips, has said it hired outside lawyers to look into the claims, Forbes reported. US officials have also looked into whether the company helped China get restricted Nvidia chips.
目前尚不清楚黄仁勋是否会出席。英伟达周五被Semafor询问时未予置评。
It is not clear whether Huang will attend. Nvidia did not say when asked by Semafor on Friday.
英伟达发言人约翰·里佐对Semafor表示：“我们坚信，如果美国政府认为任何人对美国工业构成威胁，它会让我们知道的。”
“We’re confident that if the U.S. government believes that any person is a threat to American industry, it would let us know,” Nvidia spokesman John Rizzo told Semafor.
黄仁勋此前曾拒绝过国会。据Semafor报道，今年6月，他拒绝了参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦关于就英伟达对华销售作证的邀请。预计沃伦明年将担任参议院银行委员会主席。
Huang has said no to Congress before. In June, he declined Senator Elizabeth Warren’s invitation to testify on Nvidia’s sales to China. Warren is expected to chair the Senate Banking Committee next year, Semafor reported.
