- Legislators claim that FutureWei, a R&D company based in the United States, is in fact a subsidiary of Huawei and a shared office space with Nvidia for more than a decade
- They argue that this co-location gave Futurewei access to sensitive technologies of semiconductors and sensitive AI, and cites previous incidents of misleading behavior
- Managers demand documents on Futurewei’s links with Huawei and its desk location choices, while Nvidia insists that its operations remain isolated
In the United States, an alleged subsidiary of Huawei is at the center of the spying talks, because a news appeared that she shared a building with Nvidia.
Bloomberg Requires two American legislators – Republican President John Moolenaar, and the member of the Democratic ranking, Raja Krishnamoorthhi, of the House Select Committee on China, sent a letter to FutureWei – a research and development company focused on the progression of information and communications technology (ICT).
Futurewei was founded in 2001 in Santa Clara, California, and has around 400 employees. Officially, it is an R&D company based in the United States, but in the letter, the two legislators said it was in fact a subsidiary of Huawei, citing a file of file of May 2025.
Huawei, Futurewei and Black Lissts
They also asked Futurewei to explain why he shared buildings with Nvidia, saying that he lasted at least a decade. They also argued that Futurewei held the main lease on three buildings on the site, before Nvidia took over in 2024.
“This co-location has provided unprecedented access to the most advanced semiconductors and AI capabilities in America,” said the letter. They also pointed out that FutureWei employees spanned a Facebook summit in 2018, despite Huawei’s ban, by registering employees under false American companies.
The legislators now ask Futurewei to hand over all the documents related to its Huawei links, as well as to provide documents related to the way the company ended up choosing this exact place for its offices.
At the same time, Nvidia told the publication that he essentially did not matter which is next to it: “Even where we have neighbors, we maintain a distinct Nvidia campus only.”
Huawei was linked to the black list in the United States during Trump’s first presidential mandate. At the time, the United States built its 5G infrastructure and the Trump administration argued that Huawei could be forced by the Chinese government to install deadlines and allow cyber-espionage. Huawei, as well as the Chinese government, denied these accusations as well as base.
