Who is Alice Huang, the Chinese businesswoman tied to Nvidia's CEO?

Alice Huang's career links Chinese state media, investment management and a company working with Nvidia's cloud technology. That business history is the focus of a Reuters profile drawing an unusually large audience amid allegations about her ties to Chinese intelligence.

China correspondent Laurie Chen identifies Huang as a former journalist and investment manager who became managing director of Megaspeed. The report explains Megaspeed's role as an Nvidia cloud partner and describes US scrutiny over possible semiconductor smuggling to China.

Reuters reports that US authorities are investigating Huang over alleged intelligence links. China's Foreign Ministry denies the spying allegations, calling them groundless and intended to smear China. The report also says Nvidia's internal investigation found no evidence that business secrets had been leaked.

The Short drew more than 300,000 views in its first 16 hours, already far beyond the audience a Reuters Short usually reaches on its first day. A separate Reuters upload about Alice Huang also attracted an above-usual audience, though the career-focused profile drew substantially more views over the same period.

Chen also addresses reports of a romantic relationship with Jensen Huang, distinguishing those reports from the Nvidia chief's public letter admitting infidelity: the letter did not name Alice Huang.

The corporate trail has an unresolved point, too. Reuters says Megaspeed's controlling shares were transferred to Singaporean firm Swift Data in 2023, but Alice Huang's exact connection to the company now remains unclear.
