Suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang left Megaspeed in August 2025, firm says

[BEIJING/BENGALURU] Megaspeed said on Sunday (Nov 15) that Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, whose ties to former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang have raised US national security concerns, officially left the company on Aug 30, 2025, and has no current role there.

The Singapore-based cloud-computing company is an Nvidia business partner in the Asia-Pacific and has been in the spotlight after reports that Jensen Huang had an affair with former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, whom US authorities suspect of being a Chinese spy.

“Megaspeed does not comment on Ms Huang’s personal and private matters,” the company added in a statement.

In October 2025, The New York Times reported that Megaspeed was under US investigation over whether it helped Chinese customers obtain Nvidia computer chips subject to Washington’s export controls.

China has denied the allegation and Megaspeed has not been found to have violated ​the rules.

“Megaspeed is aware of recent media reports containing assertions about our business, supply chain and global operations that are not supported by verifiable evidence,” the company said.

It further said that it conducted “legitimate and lawful business” and had retained external legal counsel to conduct a thorough internal investigation.

Alice Huang became the controlling shareholder of Megaspeed in March 2023, according to Washington-based research group C4ADS, which reviewed corporate records.
