Alice Huang: Chinese businesswoman tied to Nvidia CEO under scrutiny

Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is a Chinese businesswoman who became the controlling shareholder of Singapore-based cloud-computing company Megaspeed International after a career in Chinese finance, and she is now under scrutiny for her ties to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. US authorities have reportedly concluded she was a Chinese intelligence asset who passed information to Beijing while developing a close relationship with Jensen Huang, though Reuters could not independently verify this allegation, which China has denied. Nvidia's board has launched an independent investigation, and President Donald Trump said the FBI is also looking into the matter. Huang previously held senior roles at Shanghai Hexi Investment Management and worked at HSBC's private bank and CITIC Securities. Megaspeed, an Nvidia business partner in Asia-Pacific, has drawn scrutiny over suspicions it helped Chinese companies obtain restricted Nvidia chips, though no violation has been publicly found.
