Kang Wei introduced Jensen Huang to Alice Huang. Kang was her husband.
A Wall Street Journal report said so Thursday, citing people who know the couple, hours after Huang resigned as Nvidia's chief executive. Kang, a Shanghai fund manager, had known Huang for a decade. For two years he "appeared to accept his wife's romantic relationship with the Nvidia CEO and spoke openly of their closeness," the Journal reported. He told associates, half-jokingly, that she was Huang's personal assistant.
From late 2024 to June 2025 the couple pitched data-center projects to investors. They said investors could triple their money in three years and "expressed confidence they had ways to bring Nvidia chips into China," according to the Journal.
She is no relation to him. Alice Huang, who also goes by Huang Le, "isn't related to the Nvidia CEO," the Journal reported. Huang is her own name. Her husband's is Kang.
U.S. officials believe China's intelligence services recruited her "as an asset because of her access to the chip-designer chief," the Journal reported. She has not been charged. Singapore said she wasn't investigated for espionage. Beijing called the allegation "groundless speculation." Megaspeed, the Singapore company where she was a director, said its business was "fully within the bounds of all applicable export control regulations."
U.S. officials call it access. We call it a honey trap, and we have seen it before: Bill Gates described it under oath, and Jeffrey Epstein ran it.
