Huida CEO Huang Renxun admitted to extramarital affairs, and the scandal continues to spread with suspected Chinese female spy Huang Le. Foreign media broke the news again that Huang Le is suspected of teaming up with her husband and sister to establish a transnational business network through many companies in China, Singapore and other places. It is suspected that through the special relationship with Huang Renxun and Huida dealers, they obtained the supply of chips and assisted in the export control of about 240,000 chips by the United States. Huida AI chips were transferred to China, with a transaction scale of at least US$7.5 billion (approximately NT$247 billion), most of which were H100 and H200 systems. Some chips also flowed into the relevant data centers of Chinese technology giants such as Alibaba and Tencent.
"The Information" quoted two people familiar with Huang Le and company registration records as revealing that one of the core hubs of this chip transshipment network is Shanghai Century Litong. The company was established in China in June 2023, and one of the early shareholders was actually controlled by Huang Le's sister Huang Yu (transliteration).
It is worth noting that Century Litong will obtain Huida’s “Preferred Cloud Partner” status in October 2023, just four months after its establishment. To obtain this qualification, companies must demonstrate their ability to manage and operate Huida hardware and meet certain revenue thresholds. Actual standards vary by region and partner type.
After obtaining qualifications, partners can enjoy better chip supply channels. At that time, the U.S. government was gradually tightening export restrictions on advanced AI chips to China, and the A800 and H800 chips exclusively for the Chinese market were also banned. However, the inventory that had flowed into the hands of dealers was not subject to the same restrictions, allowing Century Letong to obtain a limited number of AI GPUs by virtue of its status as a preferred partner.
The report pointed out that Huang Le played an important role in this business network. When AI chip orders encounter delays or supply problems, it is reported that she will intervene to coordinate and help the goods re-enter the supply chain. She also tells colleagues and customers that she has a close relationship with Huida and its suppliers, so she can obtain AI chips that are difficult to obtain through other channels.
Huang Le has also shown photos of himself and Huang Renxun to business partners to enhance his credibility. People familiar with the matter revealed that she often uploaded photos with Huang Renxun on her WeChat account and even showed other photos to clients. She also claimed that Huang Renxun would arrange dinner or give her gifts on her birthday every year. A Huida salesperson in China also said that Huang Le is a familiar face when the company holds local partner events in China every year.
It is worth noting that the "New York Times" report stated that Huang Renxun and Huang Le have known each other since at least 2023, but it did not confirm when and through what channels they first met, and no evidence was provided to show that Huang Renxun knew that the relevant transactions violated U.S. export controls and was still interested in participating in them.
In addition to Century Litong, Huang Le served as the managing director of Megaspeed in 2023, serving for about 8 months. According to customs information obtained by Bloomberg, Megaspeed imported at least US$4.6 billion worth of Huida equipment from 2023 to November 2025. Some of the hardware was deployed in Southeast Asia, and some of the goods flowed to Shanghai Century Litong.
In addition, Megaspeed has also established a subsidiary Speedmatrix in Malaysia. According to relevant reports, Speedmatrix received more than 200 batches of Huida hardware between June 2024 and June 2025, with a total value of approximately US$2 billion. As for Shanghai Century Litong, in addition to receiving some hardware from Megaspeed, it also purchases processors from other suppliers.
"The Information" reported that some of the chips obtained by Century Litong later flowed into data centers that provide computing services. Related services include Alibaba, Tencent, and smaller Chinese AI developers.
"The Information" quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Huang Le assisted in the transfer of approximately 240,000 controlled chips through relevant corporate networks, most of which were H100 and H200 systems, as well as some A100 chips. The scale of related GPU transactions is estimated to be at least US$7.5 billion.
It is worth noting that current public information shows that Huang Yu had an equity relationship with Shanghai Century Litong, but it is not enough to prove that she was directly involved in chip transfer. The corporate relationships and transaction suspicions revealed in relevant reports still need to be further investigated and clarified.
In the face of related accusations, Huida told "The Information" that the company requires dealers and other business partners to comply with U.S. export control regulations. A Huida spokesperson emphasized that through due diligence, the company had discovered suspected circumvention of U.S. export controls and prompted the federal government to initiate criminal proceedings.
Shanghai Century Litong stated that the company obtained Huida partner qualification through professional capabilities and compliance channels, and all business resources are in compliance with legal requirements.
