Megaspeed confirms suspected China spy left in 2025 amid Nvidia chip probe

bbc.com —

Alice Huang, a suspected China spy linked to former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, left her executive role at Singapore-based Megaspeed in August 2025, the company confirmed Sunday. Megaspeed, the largest buyer of Nvidia chips in Southeast Asia, announced an internal investigation following reports questioning whether advanced AI chips reached China despite US export restrictions. The company denied unverified allegations, stating it conducts lawful business and has retained external legal counsel. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blamed the Commerce Department for oversight failures, while Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick faces Senate testimony next month. Megaspeed is suspected of providing backdoor chip access to Chinese firms via data centers in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.
