Megaspeed says Alice Huang left firm in August 2025

Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed International announced on Sunday that its former director, Alice Huang, had left the firm more than a year ago, on August 30, 2025. Megaspeed is suspected of aiding Chinese businesses in evading US export controls by procuring Nvidia chips for its data centers in Southeast Asia and then dispatching them to China.

Alice Huang has been identified in US media as an alleged Chinese intelligence asset with a connection to Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, who resigned as Nvidia's chief executive on Thursday. Megaspeed's spokesperson stated that Huang had officially left the company on August 30, 2025, and currently holds no position with the organization.

The firm declined to comment on Huang's personal affairs. Beijing has dismissed the espionage allegations, while Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair in a letter to Nvidia employees on November 8, which did not name the woman involved. He resigned shortly after. Nvidia's board pledged to investigate the matter, and three US Congress committee chairs have invited Jensen Huang to a closed-door briefing on November 18.

Megaspeed affirmed that it conducts "legitimate and lawful business" and has retained external legal counsel to conduct a comprehensive internal investigation into its adherence to US export control laws restricting advanced chip transfers to China. Singapore authorities revealed that servers with advanced AI chips were being exported to Malaysia, allegedly delivered to other locations without proper declarations.

Ongoing investigations by Singapore's police force are underway, and Alice Huang was barred from re-entering the city-state in February after offering inaccurate information during a probe into Megaspeed. She was not, however, prosecuted for espionage.
