Nvidia Scandal: Ex-Mistress's Firm Linked to Chip Smuggling into China

lalibre.be (French) —

Bloomberg reports that high-end Nvidia chips subject to US export restrictions were illegally imported into China through a company founded by Alice Huang, the alleged former mistress of ousted CEO Jensen Huang, and are now operating in a Shanghai data center. Documents show the servers, originally sold to Nvidia partner Aperia Cloud Services in Singapore, were routed through Alice Huang's company Megaspeed before being smuggled into China, corroborating US intelligence accusations. Jensen Huang was forced to resign Thursday amid the scandal over his extramarital affair. Beijing has categorically denied assigning Alice Huang any espionage operation and reiterated its opposition to potential new US restrictions on chip sales to China.
