Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman and former executive at the data centre firm Megaspeed International, has reportedly relocated to Beijing. Her current movements follow public scrutiny regarding her alleged status as a Chinese spy and an extramarital affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who has admitted to the relationship.
Reports indicate that Nvidia’s board has launched an investigation into the allegations, with the company’s current leadership stating they are committed to uncovering the facts. Simultaneously, Singaporean authorities have intensified their own actions against Huang. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) confirmed that the Singapore Police Force issued a stern warning to Huang and has barred her from re-entering the country. Authorities stated that she attempted to mislead investigators during a probe into Megaspeed, specifically regarding declarations linked to server purchases.
Companies associated with Huang have reportedly invested in the Chinese artificial intelligence firm DeepSeek. According to a report by The Information, these entities committed to securing Nvidia's Blackwell chips, which represent the company’s latest generation of graphics processing units designed for high-performance computing and large-scale AI operations. Previous business dealings by Megaspeed, which conducted billions of dollars in business with Nvidia, remain under scrutiny as part of a probe into suspected false declarations that began in February 2025.
Documents and industry records reveal that Huang, 42, previously worked in China’s financial sector, holding roles at firms including Hexi, HSBC, and CITIC Securities. Some reports suggest her professional network was bolstered by her association with the Nvidia CEO, a connection allegedly facilitated by her husband, corporate investor Kang Weigh, a decade ago. While the timeline of her recent activities in Beijing remains unclear, she is reportedly staying there with the awareness of local security officials.
