Nvidia CEO Faces Probe Over Alleged Affair With Chinese Tech Exec

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces a widening political and legal storm in Washington over an alleged extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese banker-turned-tech executive accused of spying for Beijing, as federal investigators probe potential national-security breaches tied to Nvidia's chips. Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, reportedly had a close relationship with Jensen Huang, according to New York Times reports, with intelligence allegedly indicating she was recruited to influence Nvidia's advanced chip availability in China. She became a director at Singapore-based Megaspeed, an Nvidia cloud partner, in 2023, though public records show she left by November of that year. Beijing has denied the espionage claims, calling them "unsubstantiated" smears. Singapore authorities are investigating Megaspeed over potential export control violations but have not opened probes into Alice Huang. Nvidia has launched an internal investigation into the reports.
