Alice Huang: The Woman Accused of Spying for China and Tied to Nvidia's CEO
Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman also known as Huang Li, is under US security investigation over her ties to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and alleged involvement in passing information to China and facilitating banned chip trade in Asia. Huang, around 42, moved from Shanghai finance to become controlling shareholder of Singapore-based cloud firm Megaspin International, an official Nvidia partner in Asia-Pacific. She previously worked at HSBC and CITIC Securities, and held leadership roles at Shanghai Hexi Investment Management. US authorities have investigated Megaspin since October 2025 over suspected help for Chinese clients obtaining restricted H100 processors, with shipments to Indonesia between 2024 and 2026. Beijing denies espionage allegations, while Nvidia's board found no evidence of trade secret breaches, and Jensen Huang acknowledged personal infidelity but not the espionage claims.
