Resurfaced report: Nvidia probed Singapore data center firm Megaspeed over China ties

- The quoted post recounts a June 2024 night in Taipei where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hosted major Asian customers at a bar, alongside Alice Huang, an executive of Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company.
- Nvidia's compliance team investigated Megaspeed and determined it is "wholly owned and operated by a company based outside China, with no China shareholder."
- Background: Megaspeed was created in 2023 when Chinese gaming company 7Road, which has ties to state-backed investors, spun off its Singapore operation; it then set up Malaysian subsidiary Speedmatrix in early 2024.
- Quoter econoar notes with surprise that this "Jensen news" is actually a year old.
