The record

Compiled by the MrScandal desk from the documents below · Desk editor Laima Ērkšķe-Kreicberga · Nov 9, 2026

Megaspeed, registered as Megaspeed International Pte Ltd, is a Singapore-based data center and cloud computing company. It became independent from a Chinese gaming company in 2023 and runs a subsidiary in Malaysia, according to New York Times reporting summarized by Gigazine. No charge against the company appears in the sources below, and Megaspeed has said it operates fully in compliance with all applicable laws, including U.S. export control regulations.

Its public record so far is a run of investigations and press reports. In October 2025 the Times reported that Commerce Department officials were examining whether Megaspeed helped Chinese firms get around U.S. export controls, and Singapore police said investigations were ongoing into suspected breaches of the country's own laws. Senator Tom Cotton asked Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to investigate. Nvidia said its own inquiry found no reason to believe its products were diverted.

In April 2026 Bloomberg reported that Bain Capital's Bridge Data Centres had replaced Megaspeed as a tenant at its Malaysian computing hub, without giving a reason. Late that October the Times reported that U.S. officials had concluded a Megaspeed executive, Alice Huang, was a Chinese intelligence asset. Nvidia's Jensen Huang called the claims groundless speculation, and Singapore said its own investigation was continuing.
