Jensen Huang Met Alleged Chinese Spy Lover Through Her Own Husband: Report

It wasn’t just anyone who helped introduce billionaire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to one of the women who might ultimately end his run as head of Nvidia.

Huang, 63, reportedly met Alice Huang, no relation, via her husband, according to a stunning report in The Wall Street Journal.

American intelligence believed since last year that Alice Huang, an executive at a Singapore-based company called Megaspeeed, was spying for Beijing.

The married Jensen Huang initially denied any romantic aspect of the relationship before admitting to the affair Sunday.

The late Wednesday report from The Journal said Jensen Huang and Kang Wei had known each other for a decade when Kang introduced the two.

The hubby apparently knew of the affair and “appeared to accept” and even joke about it, according to the outlet, which described the couple’s life:

Over the past decade, Kang and Alice Huang hopscotched from one lucrative opportunity to the next—videogame companies, pharmaceutical takeovers and cloud computing—each time weaving a web of related entities, transferring stakes among themselves and capitalizing on whatever connections were at hand, said people familiar with the couple’s business dealings. Nvidia’s AI chips were the latest play for a couple with a track record of riding hot trades and, on occasion, running afoul of regulators.

The pair are now “the subject of a raft of investigations, and the blast radius of their relations with Jensen Huang is expanding,” according to The Journal.

Nvidia declined to comment to The Journal, who reported they were unable to reach Kang and Alice Huang for comment.

President Donald Trump has been quick to back Jensen Huang, and Chinese officials have slammed the reports, which have raised concerns given American restrictions on the sale of artificial intelligence chips to China.

“The narrative about so-called Chinese spies is entirely based on groundless speculation—it is nothing more than slander and smearing,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Guo Jiakun said, according to The Journal.

Kang had founded a company called Shanghai Hexi in 2010 while Alice Huang was earning a master’s degree from Hong Kong Baptist University, according to the report. They started to operate the firm together in 2016.

Shanghai Hexi invested in difference businesses including video games, which is how Kang met Jensen Huang in Asia, according to the outlet.
