Nvidia CEO's ties to suspected spy linked to $7.5B in China chip sales

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's ties to a suspected Chinese spy allegedly helped facilitate $7.5 billion in chip sales to China, including restricted processors, according to a report. The Information reported that businesswoman Alice Huang helped move about 240,000 Nvidia chips subject to US export restrictions into China. Corporate records link her sister to Shanghai Century Litong, which gained preferred cloud partner status with Nvidia in October 2023, and Singapore-based Megaspeed, where Alice Huang was managing director, imported at least $4.6 billion in Nvidia equipment from 2023 through November 2025. Nvidia said its due diligence has helped identify suspected export control circumvention attempts, leading to federal prosecutions. The company announced Sunday that independent directors would investigate whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation, while the Chinese government denied allegations that Alice Huang was a state security asset.
