Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with alleged Chinese spy raises national security concerns

US officials suspect Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's extramarital affair with a woman believed to be a Chinese intelligence operative may have risked US national security, prompting an independent investigation. The woman, Alice Huang, allegedly met Jensen Huang in 2024 and was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security, according to US intelligence. Nvidia is reviewing whether 50,000 unaccounted-for chips sold to her former employer, Megaspeed, were diverted to China. The case involves a classified memorandum overseen by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Jensen Huang's seven meetings with President Donald Trump, who eased chip export restrictions to China in 2025. No evidence of leaked information has been established.
