Someone Actually Raised the Chinese Spy Allegations Around Jensen Huang Last Year

An X user questioned whether Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive photographed with Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, was working for the Chinese Communist Party on 10 October 2025.

The post, published by Byron Wan, appeared a day after The New York Times reported that US officials were investigating Megaspeed over possible Chinese access to restricted Nvidia chips.

The post resurfaced on 9 November 2026, as reports about an alleged intelligence operation drew renewed attention to Jensen Huang.

The 2025 Post That Questioned Jensen Huang's Associate

Wan's post featured photographs of Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, alongside Jensen Huang in Taipei. He questioned whether she had links to the Chinese Communist Party, but provided no evidence to substantiate the suggestion.

The post did not provide evidence that Huang was working for Beijing. It is important to distinguish that speculation from the later reporting, which attributed an intelligence assessment to unnamed US officials.

The New York Times investigated Megaspeed International on 9 October 2025. The Singapore-based data centre company, formerly known as 7Road International, had Alice Huang as its managing director and self-described chief executive.

The newspaper reported that US officials were investigating whether Megaspeed helped Chinese businesses obtain Nvidia chips restricted by American export controls. However, the investigation did not establish that any chips had been diverted to China.

Nvidia said its compliance team had found no evidence of diversion. Megaspeed also said it complied with applicable laws.

New Jensen Huang Spy Allegations Face Official Pushback

The story took a more serious turn in October 2026, when The New York Times reported that US authorities had concluded Alice Huang was a Chinese intelligence asset who passed information to Beijing while developing a relationship with Jensen Huang.

The report relied on people familiar with the intelligence assessment rather than publicly released evidence.

It did not provide independently verifiable proof of the alleged information transfers or establish what information Huang had supposedly shared.

Reuters said it could not independently verify the intelligence allegation. China rejected the accusations, while Nvidia announced an independent board investigation into reports that its chief executive had been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.

Singapore also pushed back against claims that its officials had investigated Alice Huang or raised concerns about her alleged intelligence links.

In a statement on 31 October 2026, the Ministry of Home Affairs said there had been no such investigations involving her, while confirming that investigations into Megaspeed were ongoing.

The distinction is significant. Singapore's statement did not clear Megaspeed of separate allegations concerning its business, but it directly contradicted claims that Singaporean authorities had investigated Alice Huang personally over alleged intelligence connections.

Jensen Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife in a message to Nvidia employees, but did not publicly identify the woman involved. Nvidia also said it had no reason to believe national security information or company trade secrets had been compromised.

The developments have brought renewed attention to Wan's October 2025 post. However, the fact that someone raised the question earlier does not establish that the original suspicion was accurate or that the subsequent intelligence allegations have been proven.
