Tech billionaire allegedly had ‘romantic relationship’ with suspected Chinese spy, who the US believes could put Nvidia boss at risk of honey trap, report claims
Billionaire Nvidia boss Jensen Huang allegedly had a romantic relationship with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of spying for Beijing, according to an explosive US intelligence memo.
The alleged tryst has raised fears of a potential honey trap targeting one of America’s most powerful technology executives.
The 63-year-old tech mogul reportedly became romantically involved with Alice Huang (no relation), an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed.
Megaspeed, a major Nvidia customer, was already under investigation over allegations it helped funnel restricted American microchips into China.
US intelligence officials believe the woman was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security, Beijing’s principal civilian spy agency, to gather information about the Nvidia chief and potentially influence his decisions.

Despite the intelligence concerns, Huang has continued to enjoy extremely close access to the president.
When Trump prepared to fly to Beijing in May, Huang was initially excluded from the group of American executives accompanying him.
But after discovering his absence, Trump is said to have telephoned the Nvidia chief, who flew to Alaska and boarded Air Force One during a stopover.
