美国立法者一直在就先进芯片对华出口可能带来的国家安全风险以及白宫监督问题寻求答案，此前有披露称，英伟达前首席执行官黄仁勋与一名涉嫌为中国情报机构工作的女商人有过关系。
US lawmakers have been demanding answers about potential national security risks and White House oversight of advanced chip exports to China following revelations that former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang was in a relationship with a businesswoman suspected of working for Chinese intelligence.
三名共和党籍众议院委员会主席和参议院银行委员会主席蒂姆·斯科特周四分别发出信函，要求黄仁勋出席作证。
Three Republican House committee chairmen and Senate Banking Committee chairman Tim Scott separately sent letters Thursday seeking testimony from Huang.
“随着关于黄仁勋、英伟达和MegaSpeed的报道不断浮出水面，存在需要立即解决的明确国家安全问题，”众议院特别委员会（对华战略竞争特别委员会）主席约翰·穆莱纳尔、众议院外交事务委员会主席布莱恩·马斯特和众议院情报委员会主席里克·克劳福德在一份联合声明中写道。
“As reports continue to come to light regarding Jensen Huang, Nvidia and MegaSpeed, there are clear national security concerns that need to be addressed immediately,” wrote House Select Committee on China chairman John Moolenaar, House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Brian Mast and House Intelligence Committee chairman Rick Crawford in a joint statement.
来自南卡罗来纳州的共和党人斯科特写道，他的委员会正在寻求黄仁勋和商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克的证词，以回应关于英伟达及美国商务部角色所引发的国家安全担忧。斯科特警告称，如果证人拒绝自愿出席，该委员会可能会使用传票权力。
Scott, a Republican from South Carolina, wrote that his committee was seeking testimony from Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over national security concerns arising from reports about Nvidia and the US Commerce Department’s role. Scott warned that the panel could use its subpoena powers if the witnesses declined to appear voluntarily.
这些请求标志着国会对这场争议的审查范围扩大，争议引发了关于英伟达防范中国情报行动的保障措施以及美国政府执行对华先进人工智能芯片出口限制的疑问。
The requests mark an expansion of congressional scrutiny into the controversy, which has raised questions about Nvidia’s safeguards against Chinese intelligence operations and the US government’s enforcement of restrictions on advanced AI chip exports to China.
目前尚不清楚黄仁勋是否会出席众议院或参议院委员会的听证会。英伟达此前拒绝就该请求发表评论，而委员会主席们最新的信函显示，他们一直与该公司保持联系。
It remains unclear whether Huang will appear before either the House or Senate committees. Nvidia previously declined to comment on the request, while the chairmen’s latest letter indicated that they had been in contact with the company.
众议院外交事务委员会的一名发言人也确认，关于黄仁勋出庭的谈判仍在进行中。
A House Foreign Affairs Committee spokesperson also confirmed that negotiations over Huang’s appearance were ongoing.
周四，黄辞职，此前有报道称他与爱丽丝·黄存在关系，爱丽丝·黄曾是美加速公司高管，据称与中国国家安全部有关联，此外还有另外两起与英伟达员工的婚外情指控。北京否认了间谍指控，称其纯属捏造，并指责幕后人员抹黑中国。
Huang’s resignation on Thursday followed reports of his relationship with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive reportedly linked to China’s Ministry of State Security, as well as separate allegations of two other affairs with Nvidia employees. Beijing has dismissed the spy allegations as pure fabrication, accusing those behind them of smearing China.
两党行动呼声日益高涨，民主党也加强了调查呼吁。众议院外交委员会首席议员格雷戈里·米克斯于11月9日致信卢特尼克，要求商务部解释其对上述情报联系的了解情况、高级官员何时获悉，以及为何继续批准向中国公司出口先进人工智能芯片。
Bipartisan calls for action grow Democrats have also stepped up calls for an investigation. House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Gregory Meeks wrote to Lutnick on November 9 demanding an explanation of what the Commerce Department knew about the reported intelligence links, when senior officials were informed and why it continued to approve advanced AI chip exports to Chinese companies.
预计民主党将在下一届美国国会掌控众议院，米克斯将出任众议院外交委员会主席，这可能使他在国会对政府中国政策的监督中扮演突出角色。
Meeks is expected to become chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee when Democrats take control of the chamber in the next US Congress, giving him a potentially prominent role in congressional oversight of the administration’s China policy.
参议员克里斯·库恩斯是参议院外交关系委员会的最高民主党人，预计将在下一届国会出任该委员会主席，他也呼吁对这场争议进行审查。新一届国会定于1月3日宣誓就职。
Senator Chris Coons, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and expected to become its chairman in the next Congress, has also called for scrutiny of the controversy. The new Congress is scheduled to be sworn in on January 3.
三名众议院共和党议员还要求于12月2日与英伟达总法律顾问蒂姆·泰特进行闭门逐字记录采访，并要求商务部工业与安全副部长杰弗里·凯斯勒于12月3日出席众议院外交委员会听证会。
The three House Republicans also requested a closed-door, transcribed interview with Nvidia general counsel Tim Teter on December 2, and asked Jeffrey Kessler, the Commerce Department’s undersecretary for industry and security, to appear at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on December 3.
“我们需要知道我们的国家安全受到威胁的全部程度，”三位委员会主席表示。他们还敦促国会将《人工智能监督法案》、《芯片安全法案》、《匹配法案》和《远程访问安全法案》作为年度国防授权法案的一部分予以通过。
“We need to know the full extent to which our national security has been put at risk,” the three chairmen said. They also urged Congress to pass the AI Overwatch Act, Chip Security Act, Match Act and Remote Access Security Act as part of the annual defence authorisation bill.
委员会主席最初要求黄某于11月18日出席一次联合闭门简报会。他们最新的信函寻求在12月1日进行一次更正式的逐字记录采访。
The chairmen had initially asked Huang to attend a joint, closed-door briefing on November 18. Their latest letter seeks a more formal transcribed interview on December 1.
