The controversy surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has taken a more serious turn, extending beyond allegations of an extramarital affair. New claims now connect his relationship with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang to approximately $7.5 billion in Nvidia chip shipments to China. The allegations have raised concerns about possible violations of US export restrictions and the security of advanced artificial intelligence technology.
According to the reported findings, Alice Huang allegedly used her relationship with Jensen Huang and an extensive business network to facilitate chip shipments to Chinese companies. The network reportedly handled approximately 240,000 Nvidia H100, H200 and A100 processors, including models restricted under US export controls. However, the allegations have not been independently verified.
Who Is Alice Huang and Why Is She Under Scrutiny?
Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is a Chinese businesswoman who previously held an executive position at Singapore-based Megaspeed International. The company is considered a major Nvidia customer.
She allegedly worked alongside her husband and sister to establish a network of businesses across China and Singapore. Their operations reportedly focused on acquiring Nvidia processors and supplying computing resources to Chinese companies.
One company in the network, Shanghai Century Litong, was established in June 2023. By October that year, it had reportedly secured preferred cloud partner status with Nvidia. This designation allegedly provided priority access to Nvidia processors.
Meanwhile, US intelligence officials reportedly suspect Alice Huang of having connections with Chinese intelligence. However, China has rejected the espionage allegations, describing them as unsubstantiated.
How Did Nvidia Chips Allegedly Reach Chinese Companies?
The reported chip distribution network allegedly relied on business connections within Nvidia and its distribution channels. Alice Huang reportedly used these relationships to secure supplies when orders involving US-restricted processors faced delays.
The network allegedly moved approximately 240,000 Nvidia processors into China through companies operating across China and Southeast Asia. These included H100, H200 and A100 models, which are subject to different US export restrictions.
Shanghai Century Litong reportedly operated data centres and rented computing capacity using Nvidia processors. Some of these services allegedly reached major Chinese technology companies, including Alibaba and Tencent, alongside smaller artificial intelligence laboratories.
Megaspeed International and its Malaysian subsidiary, Speedmatrix, also reportedly played important roles in the arrangement.
Megaspeed allegedly provided computing capacity to Chinese customers through data centres in Southeast Asia. The company was also linked to the alleged movement of physical hardware into China.
However, the reported allegations remain unverified, and the available information does not establish that every shipment violated US export regulations.
Nvidia’s Legal Team Reportedly Contacted US Officials Over Investigation
Questions have also emerged about Nvidia’s involvement in a separate investigation concerning Megaspeed.
In 2025, Nvidia General Counsel Tim Teter reportedly contacted US Commerce Under Secretary Jeffrey Kessler. The discussion concerned an investigation involving Megaspeed and the detention of Alice Huang by Singaporean authorities.
Teter reportedly asked whether US authorities had any involvement in her detention.
Subsequently, Commerce Department investigators reportedly faced restrictions on investigating Megaspeed and communicating directly with Nvidia. However, it remains unclear whether Nvidia requested these restrictions or whether Teter’s communication directly influenced the decision.
Nvidia maintained that Teter did not know about Jensen Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang when he contacted US officials.
Meanwhile, Megaspeed denied allegations of illegal chip transfers. The company stated that reviews conducted by US, Malaysian and Nvidia officials found no evidence of violations.
Jensen Huang Admits Affair as Nvidia Launches Investigation
Jensen Huang acknowledged on November 8 that he had been unfaithful to his wife. He also apologised to his family and Nvidia employees following the controversy.
Meanwhile, Nvidia’s board launched an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the relationship. The inquiry will examine whether a foreign intelligence operation targeted Huang and whether the relationship created potential security risks.
The FBI is also examining allegations surrounding the suspected espionage operation.
Nvidia stated that its board had no reason to believe company secrets or national security had been compromised. Nevertheless, the investigation will examine the available information to determine whether any security concerns exist.
The company also confirmed that Jensen Huang would remain its chief executive throughout the investigation.
The emerging allegations have placed Nvidia’s business relationships, international chip distribution network and compliance with US export restrictions under greater scrutiny. However, investigators have not established that Huang knowingly facilitated illegal exports or that Nvidia deliberately created a secret channel to bypass American restrictions.
