Alice Huang is a Chinese businesswoman who became involved in the Nvidia scandal due to allegations that she was a spy for Beijing. She was previously a senior executive at Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer and AI computing company based in Singapore. The New York Times reported that Alice Huang had a close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and intelligence indicated she was recruited to influence Nvidia to make its advanced chips more available in China.
However, the exact duration of the affair and the circumstances of its end remain unclear. Megaspeed faced scrutiny from the U.S. in 2023 for allegedly circumventing export restrictions and routing Nvidia chips to China, leading to a name change and transfer of shares. Alice Huang left Megaspeed in November 2023, but some reports suggest she remained involved in the company's operations. Beijing has denied the spy allegations, calling them unsubstantiated and smears against China.
