Alice Huang, a 42-year-old businesswoman, is suspected by US intelligence of being a Chinese spy who allegedly smuggled Nvidia AI chips worth up to $7.5 billion to China through her Singapore-based company, Megaspeed International. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted Sunday to an affair with Alice Huang, apologizing to his wife and children. The company's board is investigating whether he was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation, with the FBI reportedly involved and President Trump saying he was "stunned" by the allegations. Alice Huang, a former HSBC employee and CCTV journalist, allegedly used her relationship with Jensen Huang to facilitate chip exports, circumventing US trade restrictions. She is reportedly now in China, while Nvidia's board oversees the investigation.
