NVIDIA CEO had close relationship with woman who turned out to be Chinese spy

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is facing a congressional investigation after reports linked him to a woman identified as a Chinese spy. While the company denies any romantic involvement, officials are concerned about potential security risks due to Jensen Huang's role as an advisor to the American president.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang faces scrutiny following reports of a professional connection with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based manager who was allegedly recruited by Chinese authorities as a spy to gather information on the company's semiconductor technology. While NVIDIA maintains that their relationship was purely professional, the two were photographed together in Taipei in 2024. The situation has prompted significant concern in the United States, given that NVIDIA is the nation's leading chipmaker and restricted by government regulations from selling its most advanced hardware to China.

Intelligence agencies have reportedly been monitoring Alice Huang for over a year. The matter reached the highest levels of the American government in 2025, as Jensen Huang acts as an advisor on artificial intelligence to President Donald Trump. Consequently, three Republican members of the House of Representatives have demanded a closed-door briefing from the CEO to assess potential national security risks. This briefing is expected to occur later this month as officials investigate the depth of the interaction.
