\"Who<\/p>\n

Tech executive Alice Huang is the woman accused of spying for China during an affair with Jensen Huang, head of US artificial intelligence chip titan Nvidia, according to media reports.<\/p>\n

Public details are sparse about the woman, also known as Huang Le, who had reportedly been a top figure at a Singapore-based data centre company called Megaspeed International.<\/p>\n

Here is what we know about her and the company:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Who is Alice Huang? \u2013<\/h2>\n

Alice Huang is a Chinese citizen recruited by Beijing to collect intelligence on the Nvidia boss, according to the New York Times, which first reported that Jensen Huang was the alleged target of a spy plot.<\/p>\n

Despite their shared surname, Alice Huang is no relation to the 63-year-old Taiwanese-born head of the world\u2019s most valuable company.<\/p>\n

The Times, citing people briefed on the surveillance, said that Alice Huang speaks good English and is well connected at the highest level of the global AI chip industry.<\/p>\n

The sector is highly sensitive as the United States and China race to develop advanced AI systems with potential military applications.<\/p>\n

An online search brought up a short profile for Alice Huang, with her photo, on a Chinese fund database. It listed previous jobs including at HSBC bank, and as a reporter for Chinese media outlets CCTV and Hunan TV.<\/p>\n

AFP was unable to verify the contents of the profile, or who had written it, but has attempted to contact the companies cited.<\/p>\n

\u2013 How are the pair connected? \u2013<\/h2>\n

Media reports last week said they had a close relationship, and Jensen Huang told Nvidia employees on Sunday he was \u201cdeeply sorry\u201d for being \u201cunfaithful to my wife\u201d.<\/p>\n

One photo from an industry party in 2024, posted on LinkedIn, appears to show the leather jacket-clad Nvidia boss sitting next to a long-haired woman in glitzy jewellery believed to be Alice Huang.<\/p>\n

The following year, they both attended a dinner hosted by Jensen Huang at a Chinese restaurant in Taipei during Computex, the island\u2019s top tech expo.<\/p>\n

Journalists stood outside the restaurant filming through glass windows and doors as Jensen Huang and a woman identified as Alice Huang, who was wearing a pink dress, mingled with other attendees.<\/p>\n

At one point, Jensen Huang can be seen putting his arm around Alice Huang as she kisses him on the right cheek, press livestreams show.<\/p>\n

Alice Huang is also seen following the Nvidia chief as he re-enters the restaurant after talking to journalists outside, running her fingers down his lower back.<\/p>\n

They later leave the restaurant in the same car.<\/p>\n

\u2013 What is Megaspeed? \u2013<\/h2>\n

US officials concluded last year that Alice Huang was targeting Jensen Huang as a spy, according to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

At the time, Alice Huang was said to be a top executive at data centre firm Megaspeed International, which rents out computing power to other companies to train and run AI.<\/p>\n

Megaspeed\u2019s website says it is \u201ca core business partner of Nvidia\u2019s computing power cloud business in the Asia-Pacific region\u201d.<\/p>\n

On LinkedIn, it says it has offices in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, with around two to 10 employees and 25 \u201cassociated members\u201d.<\/p>\n

When AFP called the number listed on Megaspeed\u2019s website, the person who answered said they were unfamiliar with the company and that the number was a residential line.<\/p>\n

The firm was previously called 7Road International, according to the Singapore government\u2019s website, suggesting links to Chinese gaming company 7Road.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Has Megaspeed helped China evade US restrictions on chips? \u2013<\/h2>\n

Washington restricts the export to China of Nvidia\u2019s most cutting-edge silicon chips, citing national security concerns but also seen as a measure to stay ahead in AI.<\/p>\n

The New York Times said the US government had been probing Megaspeed since 2024 over its potential steering of Nvidia chips to China.<\/p>\n

The company has also reportedly been under investigation by Singapore authorities, who the Times says questioned Alice Huang in 2025.<\/p>\n

AFP has contacted Singapore\u2019s police and the home affairs ministry for comment.<\/p>\n

Last year Bloomberg News also reported on the Singaporean probe into Megaspeed over the alleged smuggling of Nvidia chips to China.<\/p>\n

In December 2025, Megaspeed said Bloomberg\u2019s reporting \u201ccontains misleading information and incorrect insinuations, including suggestions that we may have been involved in illegal chip transfers\u201d.<\/p>\n
