美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥在一份备忘录中提到,英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋据称与一名涉嫌为中国情报机构工作的商业高管存在关系。这份备忘录是在唐纳德·特朗普总统5月访华前流传的,据《纽约时报》报道。

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio flagged Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's alleged relationship with a business executive suspected of working for Chinese intelligence in a memo circulated ahead of President Donald Trump's visit to China in May, according to a New York Times report.

这份去年春天共享的备忘录,对黄仁勋与Alice Huang(黄爱丽丝,音译)的交往提出了质疑,美国情报机构怀疑后者为北京收集情报。这一事态发展发生在对英伟达与中国业务往来的审查日益严格、以及人们担忧受限的先进AI芯片可能通过第三方公司流入中国的背景下。

The memo, shared last spring, raised questions about Huang's association with Alice Huang, who US intelligence agencies suspected of gathering information for Beijing. The development comes amid growing scrutiny of Nvidia's business dealings with China and concerns that restricted advanced AI chips could be reaching the country through third-party companies.

据知情人士向《纽约时报》透露,这些情报担忧出现之时,正值黄仁勋寻求维持英伟达进入中国市场的通道。

According to people familiar with the matter who spoke to the NYT on condition of anonymity, the intelligence concerns emerged at a time when Huang was seeking to maintain Nvidia's access to the Chinese market.

尽管黄仁勋领导着全球最有价值的科技公司之一,并在全球人工智能行业扮演核心角色,但他最初并未被列入受邀随特朗普访华的知名商业和科技高管名单。

Despite leading one of the world's most valuable technology companies and playing a central role in the global artificial intelligence industry, Huang was initially left off the list of prominent business and technology executives invited to accompany Trump on his China trip.

目前尚不清楚这一决定是否与情报备忘录有关。不过,据报道,有几位政府官员担心黄仁勋对特朗普在AI监管方面的做法施加影响。

It remains unclear whether the decision was connected to the intelligence memo. However, several administration officials were reportedly concerned about Huang's influence over Trump's approach to AI regulation.

黄仁勋一贯主张反对收紧先进AI芯片出口限制,并推动英伟达保留对华市场准入,使公司能够向中国销售除最新技术以外的所有产品。

Huang has consistently argued against tighter restrictions on exports of advanced AI chips and has pushed for Nvidia to retain access to China, allowing the company to sell all but its newest technology there.

在看到关于黄仁勋未入选代表团的媒体报道后,特朗普最终进行了干预。

Trump eventually intervened after seeing media reports about Huang's absence from the delegation.

他请求英伟达首席执行官加入此行,方式是在阿拉斯加停留期间会见“空军一号”。总统甚至起草了一条社交媒体帖子庆祝黄仁勋的参与,称他为“伟大的黄仁勋”,并将随行的商界领袖称为将在中国施展才华的杰出人士。特朗普知情监听却未采取行动最新披露的信息继《纽约时报》早前的一份报道之后。该报道称,大约一年前,特朗普曾获简报,美国情报机构曾对黄爱丽丝进行电子监视,并怀疑她为中国情报机构工作。

He asked the Nvidia chief to join the trip by meeting Air Force One during a layover in Alaska. The president even drafted a social media post celebrating Huang's participation, describing him as the "Great Jensen Huang" and referring to the business leaders accompanying him as brilliant people who would work their magic in China.TRUMP KNEW ABOUT SURVEILLANCE BUT TOOK NO ACTIONThe latest revelations follow an earlier NYT report that Trump had been briefed roughly a year ago that US intelligence agencies had electronically surveilled Alice Huang and suspected she was working for Chinese intelligence services.

据《纽约时报》报道,监视还发现黄爱丽丝与一名美国公民关系密切。当官员寻求揭开这名美国人的身份时——根据外国情报监视规则,该身份通常受到保护——他们发现此人就是黄仁勋。

The surveillance had also uncovered a close relationship between Alice Huang and a US citizen. When officials sought to unmask the American's identity, which is normally protected under foreign intelligence surveillance rules, they discovered that the individual was Jensen Huang, the NYT reported.

据报道,特朗普当时选择不采取行动。总统认为英伟达的芯片对于美国在人工智能领域与中国的竞争至关重要,并视该公司的成功为维持股市强劲的重要因素。周日被问及是否后悔未根据情报采取行动时,特朗普表示没有。“不,我不这么认为,”他对记者说。

Trump chose not to take action at the time, according to the report. The president viewed Nvidia's chips as essential to America's competition with China in artificial intelligence and considered the company's success important for maintaining a strong stock market. Asked on Sunday whether he regretted not acting on the intelligence, Trump said he did not." No, I don't think so," he told reporters.

总统还支持黄仁勋继续担任英伟达首席执行官,称他为“一个正直的人”。“我觉得他对此大概有他的理由。”“你得听听这个,”特朗普说。英伟达在黄仁勋承认关系后启动调查周日,黄仁勋向英伟达承认他与Alice Huang(黄爱丽丝,音译)有过亲密关系,事态随即出现新转折。公司表示,将对其首席执行官展开调查,但补充称,“没有理由相信国家安全或英伟达机密遭到泄露”。

The president also backed Huang continuing as Nvidia's chief executive, describing him as "an honorable guy"."I think he probably has an excuse for it. You have to hear it," Trump said.NVIDIA LAUNCHES PROBE AFTER HUANG ADMITS RELATIONSHIPThe controversy took another turn on Sunday after Huang acknowledged to Nvidia that he had been intimate with Alice Huang. The company said it was opening an investigation into its chief executive but added that it had "no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised".In a message to the company, Huang apologised for his personal conduct and acknowledged that his actions had hurt his family."I was unfaithful to my wife," he said.

在给公司的一份声明中,黄仁勋为其个人行为道歉,并承认他的行为伤害了家人。“我对妻子不忠,”他说,“我的行为伤害了她和我们的孩子。我所做的事没有任何借口。我深感抱歉。”

"My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry."

英伟达坚持认为,黄仁勋与Alice Huang的互动“并不异常或意外”,符合他例行与客户举行会议的惯例。公司还表示,Megaspeed(美加速,音译)等客户不会接触机密商业信息。为何美加速受到美国审查由于美加速从英伟达的采购规模巨大,且其运营情况引发怀疑,该公司的商业往来已引起美国当局关注。尽管《纽约时报》描述其基本只有一个门面办公室、本地业务有限,但这家新加坡公司近年来从英伟达采购了约20亿美元的产品。

Nvidia has maintained that Huang's interactions with Alice Huang were "not unusual or unexpected" and were consistent with the meetings he routinely holds with customers. The company has also said that customers such as Megaspeed do not receive classified business information.WHY MEGASPEED IS UNDER US SCRUTINYMegaspeed's business dealings have drawn attention from US authorities because of the scale of its purchases from Nvidia and suspicions surrounding its operations. Despite having what the NYT described as essentially a storefront office and a limited local presence, the Singapore-based company purchased around $2 billion worth of Nvidia products in recent years.

美加速在东南亚建设数据中心,并将其算力租赁给中国互联网巨头阿里巴巴。美国官员怀疑该公司可能协助将受限的先进英伟达芯片非法转移至中国。

Megaspeed builds data centres across Southeast Asia and rents out their computing capacity to Alibaba, the Chinese internet giant. US officials suspect the company may have helped move restricted advanced Nvidia chips into China illegally.

据报道,英语流利的Alice Huang在AI芯片行业与高管有广泛联系,包括黄仁勋以及技嘉(Gigabyte)的领导层,后者是英伟达超级计算机的主要组装商。2024年,两人与其他行业高管在台北一家酒吧合影,当时正值美加速开始进行数十亿美元的先进AI芯片采购。

Alice Huang, who speaks English fluently, reportedly had connections with senior executives across the AI chip industry, including Jensen Huang and leaders of Gigabyte, a major assembler of Nvidia supercomputers. The two were photographed together with other industry executives at a bar in Taipei in 2024, around the time Megaspeed began a multibillion-dollar purchase of advanced AI chips.

不过,他们何时首次见面仍不清楚。《纽约时报》报道称,黄爱丽丝未回应联系她的尝试。国务院和白宫拒绝就该报道置评。

However, it remains unclear when they first met. Alice Huang has not responded to attempts to contact her, the NYT reported. The State Department and the White House declined to comment on the report.- Ends
