US intelligence believes Jensen Huang had romantic relationship with Chinese spy in honeypot operation
U.S. intelligence sources suggest that Nvidia chief Jensen Huang was targeted by Chinese intelligence in a 'honeypot' operation involving Megaspeed executive Alice Huang.
U.S. intelligence agencies suspect that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a romantic relationship with a Chinese spy, according to the Financial Times. The woman in question, sometimes referred to as Alice Huang or Huang Le, was once a top executive at Singaporean firm Megaspeed. The controversy centers around allegations that Megaspeed smuggled $2 billion worth of AI chips into China, which Nvidia denies.
Alice Huang's background is shrouded in mystery, with inconsistent reports about her career and involvement with various companies. She allegedly met Jensen Huang through a network of companies and investors, and they were recently photographed together at a Taiwanese restaurant. While the U.S. intelligence community's claims of espionage remain unproven, China has dismissed the allegations as "groundless smears and slanders."
