Singapore firm Megaspeed back in the spotlight over Nvidia scandal, China chip allegations

Huang’s admission of an extramarital affair has renewed scrutiny of Megaspeed, after media reports identified a former executive of the Singapore firm as the woman involved in the relationship, which US officials suspect was linked to Chinese espionage.

Megaspeed, a major Nvidia customer, is believed to have been founded and led by Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, the woman identified in the media reports and accused of spying for Beijing. Jensen Huang did not name the woman in his admission, while China’s foreign ministry has dismissed the espionage allegation as “groundless”.
