Nvidia CEO met alleged Chinese spy through her reported husband, US probe finds

extra.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met alleged Chinese spy Alice Huang through financier Kang Wei, reportedly her husband, nearly a decade before their affair became public, raising new questions in a US national security investigation. Kang, who acquired Chinese gaming companies using Nvidia graphics processors, introduced the pair years before the scandal emerged. Alice later leveraged connections to expand her chip industry influence, with the relationship allegedly facilitating $7.5 billion in chip exports to China. Huang admitted infidelity to his wife Lori on November 8, apologizing to Nvidia staff without naming Alice. US intelligence suspects Beijing recruited her to gather Nvidia information, though her marriage to Kang remains unconfirmed.
