Alice Huang held stakes in firms tied to Huawei data center, report says

invezz.com (Dutch) —

A CNBC report published Friday found that Alice Huang, a businesswoman linked to former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, held indirect stakes in Chinese companies connected to a data center serving sanctioned Huawei Technologies. Chinese corporate records reviewed by intelligence firm Tesari show Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, co-owned investment firm Shanghai Hexi from 2016. Hexi acquired a 27% stake in data center developer Century Longteng in 2021, which controlled a Shenzhen facility whose main client was Huawei Cloud. Hexi exited its Century Longteng stake in 2024. The report did not establish that the facility obtained restricted Nvidia chips. US authorities suspect Alice Huang of acting on behalf of the Chinese government, and Jensen Huang has agreed to testify before Congress, with a hearing expected before Thanksgiving or early December.
