Alice Huang: The Suspected Spy at the Center of Nvidia's Scandal

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a former journalist suspected of spying for China, prompting a board investigation into the relationship. The admission follows reports that Huang Le, also known as Alice Huang, was recruited by Beijing to target him. Huang Le founded Megaspeed International in 2023, which became a major buyer of Nvidia chips in Southeast Asia and a key partner for renting advanced processors to Chinese firms like Alibaba. The company imported over $4.6 billion in Nvidia products, and US officials suspect it was involved in smuggling hardware to China. Nvidia previously found no evidence of diversion, but discrepancies emerged, including 50,000 unaccounted chips. Huang Le was questioned by Singaporean police last year, and Jensen Huang is scheduled to appear before House committees on November 18 regarding security protocols.
