In May of this year, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was presented a memo overseen by Marco Rubio detailing Jensen Huang's relationship with Megaspeed frontwoman and Chinese asset, Alice Huang. The same Megaspeed which had already been under investigation by the Commerce Department since 2024 under suspicion of circumventing US export controls to send chips to China. Yet Lutnick did nothing. Above that it now appears he was actively working against other administration officials to make sure Megaspeed wasn't added to the Entity List. When Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent asked Lutnick why he said he would look into it, implying he didn't know. But he must have known, as the department he is in charge of was the same department shielding Megaspeed from blacklisting, ostensibly because it would escalate the trade war with China. It should be recalled then Lutnick has been a proponent of selling Nvidia chips to China to "make them dependent" on our technology stack. Again, the question must be asked, why is Lutnick fighting so hard against the rest of the administration to protect Megaspeed?
