Regarding Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed, whose affair with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has been the subject of widespread reports, the news site The Information reported, citing information from two acquaintances, that she had built a network in China and Singapore with her husband and sister to obtain NVIDIA semiconductors.
The base of operations was a company called “Shanghai Century Litong,” established in Shanghai in June 2023. By October 2023, it had become an NVIDIA “preferred cloud partner,” placing it in a position to obtain semiconductors on a priority basis.
October 2023 was when the United States tightened its export restrictions on AI chips to China, affecting NVIDIA products that had previously been exportable.

Ms. Huang used her position as a preferred cloud partner to secure NVIDIA semiconductors. She reportedly shipped a total of 240,000 units, including H100, H200 and A100 chips, worth $7.5 billion, to China.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump, who has a close relationship with Huang, defended him, saying, “CEO Huang had no idea whatsoever that the woman was a spy.”
