NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to having an affair with a Chinese spy, despite being married with two children.
His mistress was identified by the US government as a spy for China’s Ministry of State Security.
Here’s more from the New York Post:
She only loved him for his chips.
Nvidia boss Jensen Huang, whose company produces the world’s most cutting-edge AI chips, admitted to having an affair — after his $4.5 trillion company opened an investigation into his cozy relationship with a suspected Chinese spy.
A secret US report warned months ago that Huang’s paramour, Alice Huang — no relation — was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), Beijing’s spy agency, according to the New York Times.
The memo was overseen by Secretary of State Rubio, according to the Times.
Alice Haung is an executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based company that purchased billions in cutting-edge AI chips from Nvidia.
It’s not clear how long the Huang-Huang bang bang lasted, but they were pictured together at a bar in Taipei in 2024.
The Biden administration had limited the sales of high-end Nvidia chips to China amid the AI race, but the Nvidia CEO pushed the Trump administration to ease up on those constraints.
Despite the Trump administration’s knowledge of the apparent honeypot operation on the Nvidia boss, Jensen remained a highly influential figure in President Trump’s orbit who was able to sway the administration’s policy on AI. Jensen had argued against very tight regulations on exports of Nvidia chips to China.
