Alice Huang: The Megaspeed Exec US Intelligence Is Watching Over Nvidia

Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is a Chinese citizen and a former senior executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data centre firm — and US intelligence is now paying attention to her. A classified memo alleges that China's Ministry of State Security recruited her to gather information on Nvidia, according to the report. Those allegations have not been publicly proven.

The numbers behind the scrutiny are big. Megaspeed bought more than $4.8 billion worth of Nvidia chips over two years, according to the New York Times. Huang is not related to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. She was first photographed standing beside him at a Taipei bar in June 2024.

Her résumé is doing some heavy lifting too. A Chinese private fund database lists her as a former TV reporter at Hunan TV and state broadcaster CCTV, an assistant in HSBC's private banking arm and a vice president at CITIC Securities. The New York Post, however, could not find a CCTV profile for her, and a Hunan TV executive said he had never heard of her.

President Trump weighed in on the matter, calling it very complex and saying officials would look into it closely. That leaves the central question — who Huang really is, and what she was doing with all those chips — unanswered for now.
