The suspected Chinese spy whose affair with Nvidia boss let her hide in plain sight

Alice Huang, the Chinese CEO of Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed International, is suspected by US intelligence of being an asset of China's Ministry of State Security. She conducted an extramarital affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, appearing publicly with him at events in Taipei and elsewhere over at least two years, which allowed her to hide in plain sight among America's AI elite. US agencies conducted electronic surveillance on her for at least a year between 2024 and early 2026 amid suspicions that Megaspeed was smuggling Nvidia chips into China in breach of export controls. Between June 2024 and February 2026, Megaspeed placed orders worth $4.8bn with Nvidia and strongly denied any wrongdoing. Nvidia initially insisted the relationship was strictly business, but its plunging share price suggested otherwise. Huang's past is murky, with reported stints as a Hunan TV reporter, CCTV broadcaster, and banking roles, though her current whereabouts are unknown after she left her role at Megaspeed.
