Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia
China on Monday rejected allegations involving “Chinese spies” in the controversy surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, dismissing them as “groundless speculation and smears”.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the remarks while responding to questions about reports linking Jensen Huang to Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, who is suspected by US authorities of having been recruited by a Chinese intelligence agency.
“Allegations related to ‘Chinese spies’ in the recent Nvidia case are nothing but groundless speculation and smears,” Guo said.
The controversy erupted after reports linked Jensen Huang to Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, a former executive at Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed. The reports cited concerns among US intelligence agencies that Alice may have been involved in gathering information for Beijing.
The Nvidia chief did not directly address the espionage allegations or name Alice in a memo to employees. However, he admitted to having an extramarital affair and apologised to his wife and children.
“I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry,” Jensen Huang wrote. He also said he would cooperate fully with Nvidia’s investigation and remained committed to protecting the company and supporting US national security.
What Are The Allegations Against Alice Huang?
Alice Huang is a Chinese national who previously worked at Singapore-based Megaspeed, a company that buys computing resources, including advanced chips and sells computing capacity to clients. Its reported customers include Chinese technology giant Alibaba.
US intelligence agencies reportedly identified communications involving Alice Huang and an American citizen later identified as Jensen Huang. Officials reportedly did not believe the Nvidia CEO was aware of her alleged intelligence-gathering activities.
The Financial Times previously reported, citing an intelligence-based memo, that Jensen and Alice had been romantically involved. It also reported that Alice had allegedly been tasked with encouraging the Nvidia chief to advocate looser US export restrictions on advanced technology to China. The two were reportedly seen together in Taipei around the Computex event in June 2024 and at a restaurant in Taiwan in May 2025.
Nvidia Board Says No Evidence Of Security Breach
The allegations have raised questions about potential national security implications, given Nvidia’s position as a major supplier of advanced AI chips used in data centres worldwide.
Nvidia’s board said it had no reason to believe that national security or company secrets had been compromised, while adding that its inquiry would examine all available information.
