Who is Alice Huang, the alleged Chinese spy linked to Nvidia's Jensen Huang?

Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman also known as Huang Le, is at the centre of an alleged Chinese intelligence operation targeting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

US intelligence agencies believe she was recruited by Beijing to gather information on the head of one of the world's most valuable companies. The two share a surname but are not related.

Little is known about Alice Huang's background. She held a senior position at Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based data centre company that rents computing power to businesses developing and running AI systems.

Megaspeed describes itself as a key business partner of Nvidia's cloud computing operations in the Asia-Pacific region.

Photographs from a technology industry event in 2024 appear to show Alice Huang and Jensen Huang sitting together. In May 2025, they also attended a dinner hosted by Jensen Huang in Taipei during the Computex technology expo.

Video footage from the restaurant shows Jensen Huang putting his arm around Alice Huang as she kisses him on the cheek. They were later seen leaving in the same car.
