Alice Huang, a former finance executive who became a controlling shareholder and executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, has been the subject of allegations that she spied for China. The U.S. Justice Department has not reached a conclusion, and Singapore said Huang left in February and is barred from re-entering.
U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said on November 12 that the Justice Department had not reached a conclusion on whether Huang spied for China. Singapore said it seized her passport in 2025 while investigating other offenses, but found insufficient evidence to establish that she had committed any. Huang left Singapore in February and was barred from re-entering, the country's foreign ministry said.
Jensen Huang acknowledged an extramarital affair in a statement on November 8 without naming Alice Huang. Reuters verified photos of the two together at events over the last two-plus years, with the earliest dating to December 2023. The article says their relationship reportedly contributed in part to his November 12 resignation as Nvidia CEO.
Huang became the controlling shareholder of Singapore-based cloud-computing company Megaspeed International in March 2023, according to C4ADS. The company was under U.S. investigation over whether it helped Chinese customers obtain advanced Nvidia chips subject to export controls; there has been no public finding that Megaspeed violated the rules. Megaspeed said on November 12 that it had cooperated with U.S. inspections. Huang previously held senior roles in Chinese banking, investment management and finance.
