Nvidia CEO's affair with alleged spy aided $7.5 billion in China chip shipments, Information reports
The report says the relationship helped channel at least $7.5 billion in Nvidia chips to China and prompted calls for tighter export controls.
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang acknowledged an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a businesswoman alleged to have ties to Chinese intelligence. The disclosure prompted an FBI examination and intensified scrutiny regarding the company's compliance with export controls.
- Reports allege Huang helped facilitate at least $7.5 billion in Nvidia chip shipments to Chinese firms through a network including Shanghai Century Litong. This China-Singapore company network allegedly used ties to Nvidia to secure supplies despite export restrictions.
- Jiangsu Lettall Electronic identified Century Litong as a controlled subsidiary in its 2025 report. The subsidiary reported approximately 1 billion yuan in revenue and 230.1 million yuan in net profit, demonstrating the financial scale of the AI computing rental business.
- Following the reports, Nvidia shares fell 0.88% in premarket trading. The board launched an internal investigation into the matter, while Century Litong and other involved entities were not immediately available for comment regarding the allegations.
- The situation brings attention to the potential use of intermediaries like Megaspeed to circumvent export controls. Investors are monitoring whether this reported chip network triggers further regulatory scrutiny of the relationship between Nvidia and its cloud partners in China.
