Scandal that rocked the American technology giant, Nvidia's Jensen Huang

The CEO of American technology giant Nvidia, Jensen Huang, has confirmed his extramarital affair with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, who is under investigation by American intelligence authorities on suspicion of espionage and smuggling microchips to China.

The case, which initially appeared as a personal story, has taken on broader dimensions, becoming a highly sensitive issue for US national security and technological competition between Washington and Beijing. According to reports by The New York Times, Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is suspected of collecting commercial information in the interests of China and may have played a role in sending advanced Nvidia chips to the Chinese market, in violation of US export restrictions.

After the news of the affair was published, the Financial Times also reported on a message from Jensen Huang, through which he apologized to his wife and family.

The investigation also focuses on Megaspeed, a Singapore-based company with Chinese business ties. The company buys computer equipment equipped with Nvidia chips and rents out data center capacity to other companies, including Chinese technology giant Alibaba.

 According to The New York Times, the investigation into Megaspeed began in late 2024 after a U.S. Commerce Department official, during a visit to a data center operated by the company in Malaysia, allegedly found packaged Nvidia equipment. The discovery raised questions about whether the equipment was being installed at the facility or shipped to another destination.

Alice Huang was questioned by Singaporean authorities in 2025 but later released. Meanwhile, the US investigation shifted from the Commerce Department to the Justice Department.

US intelligence agencies were also concerned that the businessman had obtained confidential information about Nvidia's business plans through contacts with its CEO. Authorities were also examining whether these contacts could have given Beijing information about the Trump administration's stance on exporting advanced chips to China.

The case is considered particularly sensitive, as Jensen Huang had lobbied the Donald Trump administration to ease restrictions on the sale of Nvidia chips to China. According to reports, the US president was informed of the intelligence findings a year ago. However, it is estimated that the Nvidia CEO was unaware of the suspicions against the businesswoman and had not received any warning notice from US authorities.

Following the reports, Nvidia announced the launch of an independent investigation to examine the circumstances of the case. The process will be overseen by a committee composed of independent board members, with the assistance of outside legal counsel. Jensen Huang has supported the investigation and pledged to cooperate fully.

On the other hand, Nvidia's board stated that there is currently no reason to believe that US national security or the company's trade secrets have been compromised, but stressed that all available information will be reviewed.

The scandal comes at a time when Nvidia is at the center of a tech rivalry between the U.S. and China. The company also suffered a sharp drop in stock prices last week, losing about $450 billion in market value in a single trading day, before shares recovered some of the losses on Friday.
