Nvidia CEO’s affair with a Chinese spy, explained. In June 2024, Chief Executive Jensen Huang was in Taipei for an annual computer-industry trade show.  Late one night, a group of technology executives gathered at a bar. Among them was Alice Huang, then a top leader at a Singapore-based data center company. Huang said she could likely persuade the Nvidia chief to join them. “Jensen’s a great friend of mine,” she said to the group, according to a tech executive who was present. She sent a text, and a few minutes later, Jensen Huang arrived and ordered a whiskey. He held forth briefly to the gathered executives, then left alone, saying he was tired, the person said. A photo from the evening posted on social media shows Jensen and Alice sitting side by side on a red banquette, he wearing his trademark leather jacket, she in a sleeveless top and pearl necklace. Within months, the U.S. government would be investigating whether Alice Huang’s company, Megaspeed, was illegally diverting AI chips made by Nvidia for use in China, and authorities in Taiwan and Singapore would be probing what they suspected were her ties to China and its intelligence services. It was the beginning of a reckoning that now threatens Huang’s leadership of his company and the AI industry that depends on its technology and financial help.
