Alice Huang's Decade-Long Ties to Chinese Financier Kang Wei Precede Nvidia Link

Alice Huang, the Chinese businesswoman linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, had a nearly decade-long professional and reportedly romantic relationship with Chinese financier Kang Wei before her current controversy, according to a Financial Times report. Kang founded Shanghai-based private equity firm Hexi Capital in 2010, with Huang joining in 2015 as deputy general manager and executive director. He was fined by Chinese regulators in 2018 for financial misconduct, including undisclosed company control and suspected market manipulation. Huang previously worked as a CCTV journalist and at HSBC and CITIC Securities. She later became controlling shareholder of Singapore-based Megaspeed International, which faced scrutiny over alleged Nvidia chip exports to China, though the company denied wrongdoing.
