Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's extramarital affair with a Chinese businesswoman allegedly linked to Beijing espionage allegedly helped ship $7.5 billion worth of Nvidia chips to Chinese companies, according to a report by The Information on Tuesday. Alice Huang, who is not related to Jensen Huang, allegedly built a network of companies in China and Singapore to acquire Nvidia's chips, which included Shanghai Century Litong, a Shanghai-based company founded in June 2023 that secured priority access to Nvidia's chips.
Alice Huang allegedly leveraged her relationship with Jensen Huang to secure shipments of Nvidia chips, including the H100, H200, and some A100 models, despite export restrictions, helping move about 240,000 chips into China. The report also revealed that Alice Huang held an executive position at Megaspeed, a Singapore-registered company linked to Century Litong, which was investigated by US authorities over Nvidia chip shipments to China.
Nvidia is reportedly investigating whether Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation, while the FBI is examining the allegations.
