Alice Huang linked to businesses that worked with Nvidia's Chinese competitor Huawei: CNBC

Tesari said the network may have routed Nvidia computing power to Huawei and urged a U.S. national security investigation.

  • Private intelligence firm Tesari linked Alice Huang to Chinese entities that facilitated at least $7.5 billion in Nvidia chip shipments to Huawei, prompting calls for a national-security investigation.
  • Alice's network, specifically Shanghai Hexi, acquired a 50.1 percent stake in Shenzhen Yifeng Technology data center in 2021 that did business with Huawei, according to corporate records.
  • A photo released June 7, 2024, shows Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang with Alice; analysts suspect the complex business ties were designed to obscure her relationship with Huawei.
  • If evidence shows transfers of "controlled equipment" to Huawei without authorization, potential charges include export-control violations, conspiracy and smuggling, said Brian Andersen of Tesari.
  • Huawei is considered a Chinese government "state champion," receiving significant financial support from Beijing to undercut global competitors and push for technical dominance.
