SINGAPORE: Singapore-based firm Megaspeed has issued a clarification amid growing questions surrounding Nvidia chief Jensen Huang and Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang’s alleged links to a Chinese intelligence agency. The company stated on Sunday that Alice Huang officially left Megaspeed on August 30, 2025, and currently holds no position or responsibility within the organization. Rejecting allegations targeting its business and global supply chain, the firm maintained that its operations are completely legitimate and conducted in strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
The company’s response comes at a time when Alice Huang’s name has surfaced in connection with the personal life of former Nvidia chief Jensen Huang and alleged Chinese intelligence activities. Megaspeed stated that it does not wish to comment on Alice Huang’s personal matters. However, the firm expressed concern over media reports making claims about its business, supply chain, and international operations that it said are not supported by verified evidence.
Internal Review and Compliance Claims
In its statement, Megaspeed emphasized that its business is lawful and confirmed that it has appointed external legal advisors to conduct an internal investigation into the entire matter. According to the company, the control systems governing its operations and supply chain are designed to ensure full compliance with the laws and regulatory requirements of relevant jurisdictions, including United States export control rules.
Information citing a report by Washington-based research organization C4ADS indicates that Alice Huang became the controlling shareholder of Megaspeed in March 2023. Following that development, the company’s business activities and potential international connections drew increased scrutiny from investigative agencies and researchers. Recent reports have also raised questions regarding the possible routing of advanced Nvidia chips to China through the firm and alleged contacts linked to DeepSeek. Independent confirmation of these allegations and the findings of the ongoing investigations have not yet been released.
Intelligence Allegations and Personal Controversy
United States media reports have claimed that American intelligence officials suspect Alice Huang was working for China’s Ministry of State Security. Following these reports, public discussion also intensified around her alleged personal relationship with Nvidia chief Jensen Huang. In a message sent to employees, Jensen Huang admitted to infidelity toward his wife and stated that there was no excuse for his behavior. However, he did not name any woman in his communication, nor did he comment on the allegations concerning the Chinese intelligence agency.
Amid the controversy, Nvidia’s board of directors has also decided to initiate an independent investigation. On November 10, the company’s independent directors entrusted the inquiry to former acting United States Attorney Joon H. Kim and the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz. The objective of the probe is to determine whether Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation and whether the episode has had any impact on the company’s business or sensitive technical information.
Ongoing Probes and Strategic Stakes
Nvidia’s board of directors stated that it currently has no reason to believe that the company’s trade secrets or information related to United States national security have been compromised. The board noted that it will evaluate the facts as they emerge from the independent inquiry. The matter carries heightened significance because Nvidia’s advanced artificial intelligence chips are a critical component of global technological competition, and the United States has imposed strict export restrictions on supplying such technology to China.
While Megaspeed’s statement clarifies the company’s position regarding Alice Huang’s current role, definitive answers to questions surrounding her past business ties, alleged intelligence links, and the chip supply network will depend on the outcome of the investigations. For now, inquiries and legal reviews remain underway at both Nvidia and Megaspeed.
