American surveillance reportedly revealed that Alice Huang had developed a close relationship with Nvidia's CEO while passing intelligence to Beijing. Megaspeed was already under investigation for potentially helping China obtain restricted American AI chips, which raised concerns about her access to one of America's most influential technology executives.

Those plans remain unconfirmed, but the deployment already represents a major escalation of Salvadoran military operations in Haiti.
