US Intel Chiefs Leave Lawmakers Unsure If Nvidia CEO's Paramour Was Chinese Spy or 'Useful Idiot'

US intelligence chiefs briefed lawmakers on whether Alice Huang, linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, knowingly gathered information for China or was an unwitting "useful idiot" in an espionage effort, Representative Jim Himes said. The Wall Street Journal reported that Jensen Huang was introduced to Alice Huang by her husband, Chinese businessman Kang Wei, a longtime acquaintance. The disclosures increased scrutiny of Singapore-based cloud firm Megaspeed, whose assets rose to $3 billion in 2024 from $33 million in 2023 as its subsidiaries purchased $4.8 billion in Nvidia hardware between June 2024 and February 2026.
