Singapore bars Alice Huang over alleged spying and AI chip trade ties

Singapore barred Alice Huang in February 2026 without charges, following allegations she spied for Beijing while linked to AI chip trade via Megaspeed. Megaspeed traded billions in advanced AI chips but its Singapore office was empty, with staff gone before espionage claims emerged. Huang allegedly had an affair with Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang to extract secrets. Huang’s background remains unclear, including her residence and birthdate, yet her influence spanned Singapore, Southeast Asian data centres, and Silicon Valley, with Megaspeed at the scandal’s core.
