Nvidia China probe rattles Asian tech stocks
Alibaba fell 7% in Hong Kong and Seoul's rally ended as the Nvidia probe raised fears over Chinese access to advanced chips. Beijing denies a spy narrative; the more serious allegations are unconfirmed.
What we know
Bloomberg reports Alibaba shares dropped 7% in Hong Kong as the Nvidia saga stokes fears over Chinese cloud operators' access to advanced chips, and Seoul shares ended a two-day rally on rising Nvidia risk concerns, per Yonhap. China's foreign ministry said the US should stop fabricating a China spy narrative. An analysis piece argues it is unproven that Alice Huang served Chinese intelligence, and the firmer issue is how a customer with an opaque structure came close to receiving chips. Social media accounts claim a company called Megaspeed illegally sent GPUs to China with Jensen Huang's knowledge; this is unconfirmed.
