Advanced Nvidia chips allegedly reached Chinese businesses through two routes: shipments that bypassed export restrictions and rented computing capacity at data centers outside China.

South Korea's YTN news broadcaster describes both in a report about Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, and her alleged use of personal ties with Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang. Citing Reuters reporting based on The Information, the report puts the value of the chips involved at at least $7.5 billion. These are allegations, not findings of guilt.

The corporate connections are central to the account. The report identifies Shanghai Century Litong, Singapore-based Megaspeed and its Malaysian subsidiary Speedmatrix as links in a network used to obtain Nvidia hardware. Century Litong reportedly gained preferred cloud partner status shortly after its establishment, giving it priority access to chips.

When American export restrictions interrupted or delayed orders, Alice Huang allegedly used industry contacts to secure supplies. The report says roughly 240,000 chips, including Nvidia's A100, H100 and H200 models, were either transported into China or used to provide Chinese businesses with computing resources remotely. It names Alibaba, Tencent and smaller AI companies among those receiving computing capacity for work including model training.

That distinction matters: access to a chip's processing power does not necessarily require the customer to possess the chip itself.

The report also describes meetings between Alice Huang and Jensen Huang in several countries, presenting her access to him as a way of establishing credibility with technology businesses and investors.

According to the report, large orders attracted U.S. Commerce Department scrutiny, and an official found unopened Nvidia equipment at a Megaspeed data center. It concludes that Singaporean authorities investigated Alice Huang, but insufficient evidence preceded her departure for Shanghai.
