Five days after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's admission of cheating on his wife of 41 years sent shockwaves through the technology world, the woman at the centre of the unfolding controversy remains largely out of public view.But Alice Huang, a former executive at a Singapore-based data centre company suspected by US intelligence of being a Chinese spy, is now believed to be back in China, according to a Bloomberg News report.The report, citing people familiar with the matter, said that Alice Huang is currently living in Beijing. There were, however, no details as to when she travelled to Beijing, what prompted the move or what she is currently doing there.Alice has not been seen in public ever since the scandal broke on November 8 when the Nvidia CEO admitted to the affair in an e-mail to company employees.

But before the controversy erupted, she had reportedly been quite open about her association with the billionaire.According to The New York Times, she once told fellow guests at an event in Taiwan in 2024 that she could get the Nvidia chief to show up. He subsequently arrived and joined the gathering for a drink.

She had also shared photographs of herself with Jensen on social media, including pictures taken at a golf course and restaurants where they were seen drinking wine, the newspaper reported.Their association reportedly extended across 2023, 2024 and 2025.The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times reported that the two were seen kissing each other on the cheek before leaving a restaurant in Taiwan in the same car.Besides Jensen Huang, Alice Huang has also been linked to Chinese investor Kang Wei, with reports suggesting that the two may be married.Kang, described by The New York Times as a financial prodigy during his younger years, and Alice, who moved from journalism into finance, were considered an influential couple in China's financial circles.People familiar with their social lives believed them to be husband and wife, the Financial Times reported.ALICE HUANG'S BUSINESS CONNECTIONSThe questions surrounding her go beyond her reported association with Jensen Huang. Alice, also known as Huang Le, is a Chinese businesswoman who built a career in finance before emerging as a significant figure in the artificial intelligence infrastructure business, according to a Reuters profile.She is the controlling shareholder of Singapore-based cloud computing company Megaspeed International, which Nvidia lists among its official cloud partners.According to Reuters, she also previously held senior positions at Shanghai Hexi Investment Management.

Posts on the firm's official WeChat account identified her as its deputy general manager, executive director and a member of its investment decision committee.Her business connections have also attracted scrutiny in the US.Megaspeed came under the spotlight in October 2025, when The New York Times reported that US authorities were investigating whether the company had helped Chinese customers access advanced Nvidia processors restricted under Washington's export controls.A separate New York Times report last month alleged that US authorities had concluded Alice Huang was an asset of Chinese intelligence who shared information with Beijing while developing a close relationship with Jensen Huang.China has denied the intelligence allegation.Meanwhile, Nvidia's board has initiated an independent investigation into reports that its chief executive may have been targeted in a foreign intelligence operation.The company has said it has no reason to believe that national security information or trade secrets were compromised.US President Donald Trump has also said the FBI is examining the matter, although he offered no details. Trump said he had spoken to Jensen Huang, who told him he had no idea that the woman was allegedly a spy.- Ends
