Newtalk新聞 美國政府疑掌握輝達（Nvidia）執行長黃仁勳與中國籍女子交往的情報，且認為該女子已遭中國情報單位吸收為間諜。英國《金融時報》（Financial Times）引述知情人士報導，美國情報單位取得相關資訊後，今年稍早撰寫一份備忘錄，指黃仁勳曾與新加坡資料中心公司 Megaspeed 高階主管黃樂（Huang Le，音譯，又名Alice Huang）交往。由於 Megaspeed 涉嫌將輝達先進晶片走私至中國，相關情報也引發美國國安部門關注。 報導指出，美國官員根據情報單位取得的資訊撰寫備忘錄，認為黃樂已遭中國國家安全部吸收為間諜。知情人士透露，在美國總統川普赴北京與中國國家主席習近平舉行峰會前夕，這份備忘錄曾提供給少數美國政府高層官員參閱。不過，白宮與美國中央情報局（CIA）均婉拒置評。 黃仁勳與黃樂同框的照片及影片，近期也在社群媒體上流傳。對於政府備忘錄內容，以及黃仁勳與黃樂有親密關係的說法，輝達均拒絕評論。輝達先前曾表示，黃仁勳每年都會與數千名客戶企業高階主管會面。目前則尚未能聯繫到黃樂取得回應。 值得注意的是，Megaspeed 正因涉嫌違反美國出口管制規定，將輝達先進晶片走私至中國而遭美國政府調查。輝達先前曾針對相關指控進行內部調查，但評估後表示，並未發現不法行為的證據。 此外，這份備忘錄曝光前一天，共和黨籍國會議員才要求黃仁勳出席眾議院中國、外交及情報等委員會的簡報會，針對《紐約時報》（The New York Times）相關報導作出說明。紐時先前報導，美國情報單位認為黃仁勳是中國間諜行動的目標，議員也希望藉此了解輝達目前採取哪些安全措施，以防範相關風險。 Megaspeed 於 2023 年從一家中國遊戲公司分拆獨立。近年美國政府持續調查涉嫌將先進晶片走私至中國的企業，調查對象尤其集中在東南亞地區。隨著美中兩國在人工智慧領域的競爭日益激烈，華府對中國取得先進晶片的能力也愈發警戒，認為相關技術可能加速中國軍事現代化。 報導也指出，美國國安官員私下對黃仁勳有所不滿，原因之一是他今年稍早曾親自遊說川普，爭取允許輝達向中國客戶出口 H200晶片。 自川普 2025 年展開第二任期以來，黃仁勳已多次與他會面。今年 5 月川普赴中國與習近平舉行峰會時，黃仁勳原本並未列入隨總統搭乘空軍一號離開華盛頓的企業執行長名單。知情人士透露，川普得知黃仁勳未獲邀同行後，便親自打電話給他，黃仁勳隨後飛往阿拉斯加，並在總統專機中途停留時登機。到了 9 月，黃仁勳也出席川普為訪美的習近平舉辦的國宴。延伸閱讀：揭露黃仁勳身邊「女共諜黃樂」來自中國國安部 紐時：任務是蒐集他的情報外媒爆與中國情報人員關係甚從！ 美國國會要黃仁勳出席說明AI股災燒到富豪榜！黃仁勳一夜蒸發151億美元、跌出全球前十 …
