What's behind this
Alice Huang, a former Chinese banker who later took a leadership role at a data‑centre firm in Singapore, is reported to have had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and to have been suspected of acting as a spy for Beijing. The relationship has drawn attention after reports say she used her ties to divert about $7.5 billion worth of Nvidia chips – roughly 240,000 advanced processors including H100 and H200 models – to China. In a related case, a Chinese university linked to the PLA purchased two H200 AI chips worth about $123,000 despite being on a U.S. export blacklist, raising questions about the effectiveness of Washington’s restrictions.
