US Intel Uncertain on Nvidia Exec's Lover as Spy

US intelligence has not proven that Alice Huang, the woman involved in an affair with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, was a Chinese spy, according to a CNN report. US officials remain divided on the evidence, with no conclusions reached by the Justice Department or FBI. Alice Huang, a senior executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, a major Nvidia chip buyer, was allegedly flagged in a US intelligence memo as a Chinese state security asset, a claim Beijing denies. Some officials see her as a counterintelligence risk due to Chinese law compelling citizen cooperation, while others question the evidence's strength. The scandal has also drawn attention to Washington's failure to prevent advanced AI chips from reaching China, with Megaspeed under investigation since 2024 for potentially diverting restricted Nvidia chips. Critics note Jensen Huang openly advocated for more chip sales to China, highlighting a regulatory loophole.
