Bloomberg Reports, Citing Sources
Alice Huang, also known by her Chinese name Huang Le, who is reportedly involved in an extramarital relationship with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, is believed to be staying in Beijing, China.

One source said Chinese security authorities are also aware of her presence there. It could not be confirmed when or why Alice Huang moved to Beijing.
Alice Huang has faced allegations of links to Chinese intelligence agencies since her extramarital relationship with CEO Huang came to light. The Chinese government, however, has denied allegations that Alice Huang is a spy. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to Bloomberg's request for comment on the report.
A former journalist and finance industry professional, Alice Huang expanded her influence in Southeast Asia's AI semiconductor market after founding Megaspeed in 2023. Megaspeed was spun off from Sevenroad Holdings, a major Chinese gaming company, and was established shortly after the Biden administration tightened restrictions on exports of advanced AI semiconductors to China.
Alice Huang is reportedly said to have used her relationship with CEO Huang to supply semiconductors worth at least $7.5 billion (approximately 10 trillion won) to Chinese companies through Megaspeed, the Singaporean company she owns. Megaspeed has also reportedly rented NVIDIA semiconductors to China's Alibaba Group from data centers in several Southeast Asian countries.
The foreign media reports came amid speculation that CEO Jensen Huang could be removed. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that the board was preparing to meet as early as November 11 (local time) to decide Huang's future. NVIDIA launched an independent investigation after CEO Huang admitted to having an extramarital relationship on November 8, and has appointed outside legal experts to investigate the related allegations. The Washington Post (WP) and the UK's Financial Times (FT) also confirmed that the meeting had taken place.

With details of CEO Huang's private life coming to light, NVIDIA, which had initially said it had no plans to replace its CEO, is also reportedly searching for a successor.
