The alleged operation against the head of Nvidia

At the center of the alleged Chinese intelligence operation was Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman also known as Huang Le. According to American intelligence agencies, she was recruited by Beijing to gather information on Jensen Huang, the head of one of the world's most valuable companies. Despite sharing the same surname, they are not related. This was reported by Euronews.

What is known about Huang herself

Little is known about Alice Huang's biography. She held a senior position at Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based company that rents out computing power to businesses developing and deploying artificial intelligence systems. Megaspeed describes itself as a key business partner of Nvidia in cloud computing operations across the Asia-Pacific region.

Public meetings with Jensen Huang

Photographs from a 2024 industry technology event reportedly show Alice Huang and Jensen Huang sitting next to each other. In May 2025, they also attended a dinner that the head of Nvidia hosted in Taipei as part of the Computex technology expo. Video footage from the restaurant shows Jensen Huang putting his arm around Alice Huang's shoulders while she kisses him on the cheek; the two were later seen leaving in the same car.
