"In a letter sent to Huawei affiliate Futurewei on Sunday,the chairman and a member of theHouse Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party said that the Chinese telecommunications giant's US arm was located inside Nvidia's campus for a decade. Futurewei held the prime lease on three buildings at 2330 Central Expressway, while Nvidia subleased space. That setup lasted until 2024, when Nvidia bought out the lease and took full control of the site."
"The lawmakers said the arrangement was "deeply concerning" and asked Futurewei to turn over internal documents. "This co-location provided Futurewei unprecedented access to America's most advanced semiconductor and AI capabilities," wrote Republican Chairman John Moolenaar and Democratic Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi of the House Select Committee on China. The US has blacklisted Huawei since 2019, cutting it off from advanced chips and restricting American firms from supplying the company due to national security concerns."
Futurewei, Huawei's US research affiliate, occupied space inside Nvidia's Santa Clara campus for about a decade while holding the prime lease on three buildings at 2330 Central Expressway. Nvidia subleased portions of the site until 2024, when Nvidia bought out the lease and assumed full control. House Select Committee leaders requested internal Futurewei documents, calling the co-location concerning and saying it gave Futurewei unprecedented access to advanced semiconductor and AI capabilities. Huawei has been blacklisted since 2019, restricting access to advanced chips and US suppliers. A 2018 lawsuit by former Futurewei employee Jesse Hong alleges corporate espionage and directives to use fake US company names to attend closed-door events.
