The Woman Next to Jensen Huang... Turns Out to Be a Chinese Spy?

A woman leaving a restaurant with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in Taipei in May of last year.

The New York Times recently reported that U.S. intelligence agencies have suspected this woman of being a Chinese spy.

She is Alice Huang, known as an executive at a Singapore-based data center company.

It all started not with Alice Huang, but with "chips."

U.S. authorities have been investigating how Nvidia AI chips, banned from export to China since 2024, made their way into China, and suspected Megaspeed as the conduit.

Jensen Huang was captured as a contact while authorities were monitoring Alice Huang.

Nvidia explained that it was a routine business relationship.

Reportedly, President Trump was briefed on this matter about a year ago but took no particular action.

Possibility has been raised that this issue may be discussed during the visit to China next month.
