Alice Huang linked to firms supplying Nvidia computing power to Huawei: Report

A private intelligence firm has linked Alice Huang, the suspected Chinese spy who had an affair with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, to businesses that allegedly supplied Nvidia computing power to Huawei, China's top chip rival, according to a CNBC report. The report, based on findings from firm Tesari, says Huang's co-owned company Shanghai Hexi held stakes in a data center chain whose key customer was Huawei Cloud. The connections reportedly emerged around December 2023, when Huang and Jensen Huang were first seen publicly together, and were allegedly designed to obscure the relationship. Huawei has been banned in the US since November 2022 over national security concerns. Separately, Jensen Huang has been accused of affairs with two other Nvidia employees, and he is set to forfeit $108 million in unvested shares following his exit.
