Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's alleged extramarital affair has reportedly involved Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang Le. She reportedly facilitated Chinese companies acquiring restricted Nvidia chips. Reuters reported that loopholes in US chip export restrictions have allowed blacklisted Chinese universities with ties to China's military to purchase advanced chips.
Tech media outlet "The Information" reported that Alice Huang Le, the Chinese businesswoman accused of being a spy, met Jensen Huang as early as 2023. At a time when the US restricted the export of advanced AI chips to China, Huang, along with her husband and family, established Shanghai Century Litong that same year, securing priority access to Nvidia chips. She also facilitated Nvidia shipments worth at least 7.5 billion USD -- approximately 58.5 billion Hong Kong dollars -- to Chinese companies. Reports indicate that some of these chips later flowed into data centres providing computing power for tech giants such as Alibaba and Tencent.
Huang was in Hong Kong to study -- as part of the first cohort of the master's programme in Media Management at Hong Kong Baptist University. Her head tutor was the veteran media professional Clarence Chang Ching-po.
After graduation, Huang worked as a reporter for Hunan Television. According to her acquaintances, Huang could only speak simple English at the time. She was described as gentle and sweet with great "skin conditions" -- and was well-liked by people.
