Nvidia chip firm Megaspeed's ties to alleged spy Alice Huang under scrutiny

Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese spy linked to Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, is under investigation for espionage amid ties to Singapore-based chip firm Megaspeed, which has drawn scrutiny over export law violations and technology transfers to China. Megaspeed's revenue surged from zero to nearly $300 million within a year, with assets jumping to almost $3 billion, while its offices appeared deserted. Singapore police opened a probe in February 2025 into suspected export control circumvention, and Huang was barred from Singapore in February 2026 for downplaying her role. Huang, a Chinese citizen with a Hong Kong passport, served as Megaspeed director from March to November 2023. Corporate records suggest financial links to Alibaba through subsidiaries in Malaysia and the Cayman Islands, though her exact connections remain unclear.
