The US Justice Department is investigating whether companies related to it were involved in smuggling Supermicro products into China.
Huang Le held a stake in Shanghai Hexi as early as 2016, CNBC reported, citing corporate information compiled by private intelligence research firm Tesari. This financial company has invested heavily in technology and data centers. Hexi will acquire a 27% stake in Shanghai Century Longteng Data Technology in 2021 pending an exit in 2024.
Century Longteng owns a 50.1% stake in a data center operator in Shenzhen, and its main customer is Huawei Cloud. Hexi also gave loan guarantee for the data centre. However, CNBC reported that it is currently unable to confirm whether the data center has received Huida GPUs.
Another clue involves Shanghai Century Litong Data Services and its parent company Jiangsu Litong Electronics. Century Litong and Century Longteng are separate companies, but they had an equity relationship. Litong Electronics announced in December 2023 that it planned to acquire the 5.1% equity of Century Litong held by Century Longteng.

A person with direct knowledge of the fundraising said that related companies have invested in DeepSeek through multiple investment vehicles, and the total investment amount is unknown. The report also said that the United States has stepped up its crackdown on chip smuggling since the end of last year, but Century Litong still managed to import Blackwell chips.
Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reported that Manhattan federal prosecutors are investigating whether companies related to Huang Le were involved in smuggling Supermicro products into China. It is unclear whether this is directly related to the charged cases.
Supermicro said MegaSpeed had never been its customer and said it would continue to cooperate with local authorities in their investigation. Megaspeed has denied wrongdoing. The US Attorney General also said that there has been no conclusion on whether Huang Le is a Chinese spy; Beijing has denied the allegations of espionage.
Singapore’s Home Ministry said on Thursday that Huang Le deliberately provided false information and downplayed his role in the investigation into MegaSpeed’s operations. Because there was insufficient evidence to prosecute, authorities issued him a stern warning and banned him from re-entering the country. She left the country on 26 February.
Singapore stressed that it was not investigating Huang for espionage, but that Megaspeed and six others were under investigation.
