新加坡11月12日电——总部位于新加坡的云计算公司Megaspeed于周四表示,公司“极其重视”美国出口管制法律下的合规义务,并已配合美国的检查。
SINGAPORE, Nov 12 - Singapore-based cloud computing firm Megaspeed said on Thursday that it takes compliance obligations under US export control laws "extremely seriously" and that it has cooperated with US inspections.
此前有报道称,英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋与Megaspeed前高管爱丽丝·黄有过一段婚外情,而美国当局怀疑爱丽丝·黄是一名中国间谍,该公司因此成为舆论焦点。
The company has been in the spotlight following reports that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, whom US authorities suspect of being a Chinese spy.
Megaspeed首席执行官兼董事长陈永丰在公司网站发布的一份声明中表示:“合规是公司的根本重中之重,Megaspeed致力于与美国政府进行建设性且透明的合作。”陈永丰称,Megaspeed配合了美国商务部工业与安全局的检查,并“随时准备与任何其他相关美国政府机构进行全面合作”。
In a statement posted on its website, Megaspeed CEO and Chairman James Tan Yong Pong said: "Compliance is a fundamental priority for the company, and Megaspeed is committed to working constructively and transparently with the US government." Tan said Megaspeed cooperated with inspections by the US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security and "stands ready to cooperate fully with any other relevant US government authority".
陈永丰补充说,Megaspeed已聘请一家美国律师事务所,对其图形处理器主导开展“全面清查”,并独立核实其出口管制合规做法。
Megaspeed has retained an American law firm to lead a "comprehensive census" of its graphics processing units and independently verify its export control compliance practices, Tan added.
在美国正对这家市值4万亿美元的芯片制造商进行调查之际,英伟达董事会正在讨论是否罢免黄仁勋,此前有报道称黄仁勋有两段婚外情,其中一段的对象是这名涉嫌为中国间谍的人。
The US is looking into the $4 trillion chipmaker while Nvidia's board is discussing whether to oust Huang following reports of two extramarital affairs, one of which was with the alleged Chinese spy.
去年10月,在一名美国参议员要求商务部调查Megaspeed是否转运了英伟达芯片后,新加坡警方表示正就“涉嫌违反本国法律”一事对Megaspeed进行调查。新加坡上个月表示,该公司仍在接受调查。
Last October, Singapore police said they were investigating Megaspeed over "suspected breaches of our domestic laws" after a US senator requested the Commerce Department investigate whether Megaspeed had diverted Nvidia chips. Singapore said last month that the firm was still under investigation.
中国女商人爱丽丝·黄是Megaspeed的前高管,该公司在泰国、马来西亚、印度尼西亚、美国和澳大利亚设有子公司。
Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang is a former executive at Megaspeed, a company with subsidiaries in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the US and Australia.
黄仁勋于周日表示,他曾对妻子不忠,但未透露这段关系的细节。北京方面则称有关间谍的指控是“无中生有的指责、造谣和抹黑”。记者未能联系到爱丽丝·黄置评。
Jensen Huang said on Sunday he had been unfaithful to his wife, but gave no details about the relationship, while Beijing has called the spying claim "a groundless accusation, slander and a smear." Alice Huang could not be reached for comment.
