据两位知情人士向美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)透露,上周在白宫战情室,财政部长斯科特·贝森特就商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克所在部门拒绝将英伟达客户 Megaspeed 列为潜在国家安全威胁一事对其进行了质问,这场对峙凸显了特朗普政府内部围绕中国获取英伟达高端芯片问题的紧张态势。
特朗普政府官员长期以来一直担心 Megaspeed 规避美国法律,将高端芯片输入中国——财政部官员认为,这种情况应当促使该公司被列入商务部所谓的“实体清单”,即那些可能构成国家安全风险的与中国相关的企业名单。但就在最近几天,随着英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋承认与一名涉嫌为中国间谍的 Megaspeed 员工存在婚外情,这一问题获得了新的关注并变得愈发重要。
知情人士透露,几个月前,包括卢特尼克在内的特朗普政府高级官员已获悉黄仁勋与 Megaspeed 高管爱丽丝·黄的关系,美国情报机构怀疑爱丽丝·黄是中国间谍。
不过,知情人士称,尽管有上述警告,商务部至今仍拒绝将 Megaspeed 列入实体清单。
据透露,上周四贝森特就此质问卢特尼克时,卢特尼克并未立即承诺采取任何具体行动。
美国Axios新闻网率先报道了这场战情室对峙事件。
Megaspeed是一家总部位于新加坡的公司,2015年最初以中国游戏开发商“7Road International”的名义注册成立。但自爱丽丝·黄担任公司负责人并更改名称以来的三年间,该公司已成为亚洲最大的英伟达芯片采购商之一,据一些分析师估计,其采购的半导体总价值超过40亿美元。
Megaspeed否认存在任何不当行为,并表示自己是“合规合法的公司”。中国外交部称关于爱丽丝·黄是中国间谍的指控是“毫无根据的猜测,是抹黑和诋毁中国的企图”。
实体清单是美国防止美国企业向外国公司和机构销售其产品的最重要工具之一。但将 Megaspeed 列入清单也可能加剧中美紧张关系,尤其是在特朗普正努力处理与中国这个超级大国的贸易关系之际。商务部已有一年多未在实体清单上新增任何企业。
财政部与商务部代表未立即回应置评请求。
Bessent confronts Lutnick over not labeling Nvidia customer a national security threat, sources say

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent challenged Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over his department’s reluctance to label Nvidia customer Megaspeed a possible national security threat in a Situation Room confrontation last week that illustrates the tension inside the Trump administration over Chinese access to Nvidia’s advanced chips, two people familiar with the matter told CNN.
Trump officials have long harbored concerns that Megaspeed has circumvented US law and funneled advanced chips into China — a prospect that Treasury staffers argued should land it on Commerce’s so-called entity list of China-connected companies that could pose national security risks. But the issue gathered newfound attention and importance in recent days when Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a Megaspeed employee suspected of being a Chinese spy.
Senior Trump officials, including Lutnick, also were briefed months ago about Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive who the intelligence community suspected of being a Chinese spy, people familiar with the matter said.
But despite those warnings, Commerce has so far refused to put Megaspeed on the entity list, the people said.
Confronted on it by Bessent last Thursday, Lutnick did not immediately commit to taking any specific action, they said.
Axios first reported the Situation Room confrontation.
Megaspeed is a Singapore-based company that was originally incorporated in 2015 as a Chinese video game developer called 7Road International. But in the three years since Alice Huang became director and the company changed its name, it has become one of the largest buyers of Nvidia chips in Asia, purchasing more than $4 billion worth of its semiconductors, by some analyst estimates.
Megaspeed has denied any wrongdoing and said it is a “compliant and legal company.” China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the allegations that Alice Huang was a Chinese spy “groundless speculation and an attempt to smear and malign China.”
The entity list represents one of the US’s most significant tools for preventing American firms from selling their products to foreign companies and organizations. But adding Megaspeed to the list could also risk inflaming tensions with China amid Trump’s efforts to manage the US’ trade relationship with the fellow superpower. The Commerce Department hasn’t added any company to the list in more than a year.
Representatives for the Treasury and Commerce departments did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
