China has accused the United States of using allegations of a Chinese espionage plot involving Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang to justify restrictions on Beijing’s technological development. Speaking at a press briefing on November 12, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning urged Washington to stop fabricating what she called “spy” narratives and imposing a technological blockade. Her remarks followed claims that Huang was targeted in an alleged Chinese intelligence operation involving Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, reportedly associated with Singapore-based Megaspeed International. Mao said China’s technological progress was driven by independent innovation and open cooperation. The accusations have intensified tensions between Washington and Beijing over artificial intelligence chips, technology competition and national security.
