00:00Who is Alice Huang, the woman involved with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang?
00:04She's also at the center of spying allegations.
00:08Also known as Huang Le, she's a Chinese businesswoman who was a top executive at Megaspeed International,
00:13a Singapore-based data center firm between March and November 2023.
00:18Online searches showed that she once worked at HSBC and was a reporter for Chinese broadcasters CCTV and Hunan TV.
00:26So how did she cross paths with Jensen Huang?
00:29In 2023, Megaspeed became what it calls a core business partner of NVIDIA's.
00:35Then, in June 2024, Alice and Jensen were photographed together at Computex Taipei.
00:41And in May 2025, they were filmed at a dinner hosted by Jensen in Taiwan.
00:53They then left the event in the same car.
00:57Fast forward to November 8, 2026, Jensen publicly apologized for being unfaithful to his wife, but did not name the
01:04woman involved.
01:05But where do the spying allegations come in?
01:09From 2023 to November 2025, Megaspeed bought more than US$4.8 billion worth of NVIDIA chips.
01:16And this raises the question of whether Megaspeed has helped China evade US restrictions on chips amid their race to
01:22develop advanced AI systems with potential military applications.
01:26Since 2024, the US government has been probing Megaspeed over its potential steering of NVIDIA chips to China.
01:34In 2025, Bloomberg reported on Singapore's probe into Megaspeed over the alleged smuggling NVIDIA chips to China.
01:41Megaspeed has also reportedly been under investigation by the Singapore authorities who questioned Alice in 2025.
01:48And now, NVIDIA has launched its own independent investigation into the national security concerns.
