Alleged Chinese spy Alice Huang's past fades as her rise from nurse to Nvidia insider emerges
Alice Huang, a 49-year-old Chinese woman accused by US intelligence of being a spy targeting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, is facing scrutiny as traces of her past disappear from China's internet. She allegedly rose from a nursing school graduate to a business executive with access to top tech figures. Huang, born in 1977 in Hunan province, trained as a nurse before working informally at Hunan TV and CCTV, then moved into finance as a senior executive at Shanghai Hexi Investment. She reportedly met Jensen Huang through stock analyst Kang Wei, whom she presented as her husband, and later held a senior role at Singapore firm Megaspeed. Beijing has denied the allegations, and Huang has not been charged with wrongdoing. Experts suggest she may have been a "cooperating asset" rather than a trained operative, with her business success and access to Nvidia's leadership potentially exploited for intelligence gathering on policy and board sentiment regarding China sales.
