(Deutsche Welle Chinese website) Alice Huang became the focus of attention overnight, but she remains mysterious. According to media reports, she is an executive of a technology company and is accused of having an extramarital affair with Jensen Huang, the president of the American artificial intelligence chip giant Nvidia, and during this period she conducted espionage activities for China - using Huang Jenxun and Nvidia as targets for intelligence collection.
So far, little public information has been released about the woman. It is said that her Chinese name is Huang Le (Huang Le), and she was a senior figure at Singapore data center company Megaspeed International.
Worked as a reporter for CCTV and Hunan Satellite TV and has extensive connections
According to the New York Times, Huang Le is a Chinese citizen who was recruited by Beijing to gather intelligence on Nvidia and its president Jensen Huang. The New York Times first reported that Huang was the target of the alleged espionage plot.
Despite having the same surname, Huang is not related to the 63-year-old Taiwan-born CEO of the world's most valuable company.
The New York Times quoted people with knowledge of the surveillance as saying that Huang was fluent in English and had extensive connections at the highest levels of the global artificial intelligence chip industry.
The United States and China are racing to develop advanced artificial intelligence systems with potential military applications, making the industry highly sensitive.
An online search turns up a brief biography of Huang Le, accompanied by a photo, in a Chinese fund database. The resume lists past jobs at HSBC and as a reporter for Chinese media outlets CCTV and Hunan TV.
What is the relationship between the two? Ambiguous scenes in Taipei restaurants
Media reports last week suggested the pair were close. Jensen Huang told Nvidia employees on Sunday (November 8) that he was "deeply sorry" for "being unfaithful to his wife."
A photo of the 2024 industry party posted on LinkedIn shows that the president of Nvidia, wearing a leather jacket, appears to be sitting next to a woman with long hair and shiny jewelry, who is believed to be Huang Le.
The next year, during Computex, Taiwan's most important technology exhibition, both men attended a dinner hosted by Huang Jen-Hsun at a Chinese restaurant in Taipei.
Reporters stood outside the restaurant and filmed through glass windows and doors. The footage showed Huang talking with a woman identified as Huang Le, wearing a pink dress, and other guests.
The live media footage showed that Huang Renxun once hugged Huang Le, and she kissed his right cheek.
The footage also showed that when the Nvidia president returned to the restaurant after talking to reporters outside the restaurant, Huang Le followed him and ran his fingers along his lower back.
The two then left the restaurant in the same car.
What company is Megaspeed? Why use a home phone?
U.S. officials concluded last year that Huang approached Huang as a spy, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported.
Huang Le was said to be an executive at data center company Megaspeed International at the time. The company rents computing power to other companies to train and run artificial intelligence.
Megaspeed's website states that the company is "the core business partner of Nvidia's computing power cloud business in the Asia-Pacific region."
The company said on LinkedIn that it has offices in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia and has about two to 10 employees, as well as 25 "associated members."
When AFP called the number listed on Megaspeed's website, the person who answered the call said he didn't know the company and said it was a residential call.
The Singapore government website shows that the company was once called 7Road International, suggesting that it is related to the Chinese gaming company 7Road.
Does Megaspeed help China circumvent US chip restrictions?
The United States has restricted the export of Nvidia's most cutting-edge silicon chips to China on the grounds of national security. This move is also seen as a measure to maintain its leading position in artificial intelligence.
The New York Times stated that the U.S. government has been investigating whether Megaspeed may transfer Nvidia chips to China since 2024.
The company is also reportedly under investigation by Singaporean authorities. The New York Times stated that Singaporean authorities questioned Huang Le in 2025.
Bloomberg also reported last year that Singaporean authorities were investigating Megaspeed for allegedly smuggling Nvidia chips into China.
In December 2025, Megaspeed said the Bloomberg report "contained misleading information and incorrect implications, including suggesting that we may have been involved in illegal chip transshipments."
