Suspected Nvidia Scandal Spy Alice Huang Returns to Beijing

Alice Huang, the suspected Chinese spy at the center of a scandal threatening Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's position, has returned to Beijing, where she is living with the knowledge of security officials, according to sources. Her whereabouts were previously unknown amid a board investigation into espionage allegations. Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, founded Megaspeed International in 2023, which became the largest buyer of Nvidia chips in Southeast Asia and a key route for smuggling advanced hardware into China. The company imported over $4.6 billion in Nvidia products and rented chips to Alibaba, while Singapore authorities briefly detained her in 2025 over a local investigation. Beijing has denied the spy allegations, and China's Foreign Ministry did not respond to requests for comment. Alice Huang previously worked at Citic Securities and HSBC before entering the neocloud business, and her company was spun off from 7Road Holdings following US export restrictions on AI chips.
