Who is Alice Huang? The woman at the center of Nvidia’s scandal remains elusive
Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, has been the subject of intense scrutiny following her alleged close relationship with Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang. According to The New York Times, Huang allegedly passed information to Beijing, leading U.S. officials to conclude she was a Chinese spy recruited to influence Nvidia to make its chips more available in China.
Huang, a Chinese businesswoman, has been linked to Megaspeed, a Singapore-based company spun off from a Chinese video game developer. In 2023, Huang became Megaspeed's controlling shareholder after a corporate name change. However, her exact role and involvement at Megaspeed remain unclear, with conflicting reports from public records and a May report by short seller Culper Research suggesting she was still "our boss."
Despite claims of espionage, Beijing has refuted these allegations, calling them "unsubstantiated smears against China."
