Singapore says US authorities, and Supermicro, hardly helped investigation of Jensen Huang’s Chinese friend
Seized passport during probe of suspected paperwork fibs that hid server shipments to parts unknown
Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs revealed that they conducted an investigation into Alice Huang, a woman who is suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset and having an intimate relationship with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The investigation was prompted by potential false declarations in relation to the purchase of servers, as well as other related offences.
US authorities provided "limited assistance" in the matter, despite Singapore requesting help. The Ministry stated that Singapore's Police Force and Customs agency began investigating Huang's company, Megaspeed, in February 2025. Singapore authorities were concerned that servers purchased by local companies and exported to Malaysia without touching Singaporean soil could end up in a third country.
Huang was not investigated for espionage, but was instead warned and barred from re-entering Singapore due to providing inaccurate information. The Ministry concluded that there was insufficient evidence to establish Huang's guilt, but stated that she provided inaccurate information to downplay her role in Megaspeed. The investigation also led to suspicions that troubled server-maker Supermicro may have played a role, despite Supermicro denying any involvement.
