Nvidia board probes Alice Huang's Beijing return amid spy allegations

Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman linked to an espionage controversy involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, has returned to Beijing, where she is living with the knowledge of security officials, according to a Bloomberg report. Huang, founder of Singapore-based Megaspeed International, a major Nvidia chip buyer, faces scrutiny as Nvidia's board investigates allegations she was a Chinese intelligence asset. Her whereabouts were unknown since Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair, though Beijing denies she was a spy. Megaspeed, spun off from 7Road Holdings in 2023, imported over $4.6 billion in Nvidia products and rents chips to firms like Alibaba. Huang previously worked in finance at Citic Securities and HSBC, and her return coincides with investor concerns over Nvidia's leadership.
