Nvidia faces deepening scrutiny over China chip ties, CEO affair

What's behind this

According to reports, Alice Huang, a Chinese banker turned tech executive with an alleged affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, allegedly used her relationship to divert about $7.5 billion worth of Nvidia chips, including 240,000 advanced processors such as H100 and H200, to China. A Chinese university linked to the PLA purchased two H200 chips worth $123,000 despite a US export blacklist, raising questions about the effectiveness of Washington’s restrictions. Federal investigators are probing export controls and possible national‑security breaches tied to Nvidia’s chips.
