Reuters:白宫考虑撤换商务部长 Lutnick,Nvidia 涉嫌间谍风波波及商务部
商务部长被指收到机密警告却没把买了 48 亿美元芯片的 Megaspeed 拉黑,现在白宫在讨论换人。这事直接关系 Nvidia 芯片卖给谁、对华管制怎么执行,做芯片和出口合规的应该盯着。
Reuters 报道,White House 官员正在评估是否撤换商务部长 Howard Lutnick,起因是 Nvidia 相关的间谍争议已波及商务部。据报道,Lutnick 在 5 月收到一份机密备忘录,警告 Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang 与一名疑似中国间谍人员有牵连。尽管有这份警告,商务部始终没有将该人员关联的公司 Megaspeed 列入实体清单。
Megaspeed 是 Nvidia AI 芯片的大买家,采购金额超过 48 亿美元。争议的核心在于:商务部在收到机密警示后仍未对其采取黑名单措施,这种处理方式引发了对 Lutnick 领导下的出口管制决策的质疑。
这一事件触及美国对华芯片出口管制的执行层面:实体清单的列入与否直接影响哪些中国公司能合法采购美国 AI 芯片。若 Lutnick 离任,商务部对 Nvidia 出口审批和管制名单的口径可能出现调整,芯片供应链上的买家名单也将随之变化。

Lutnick reportedly received a classified memo in May warning that Jensen Huang was involved with a suspected Chinese spy, yet his department still never blacklisted her company, Megaspeed, which has bought over $4.8B of Nvidia AI chips.
