Alice Huang quit in 2025: Megaspeed denies China chip claims amid Nvidia row

Megaspeed said Alice Huang left the company on 30 August 2025 and no longer has any role. The clarification follows scrutiny of alleged intelligence links and the firm's Nvidia-related operations.

In Short

• Company rejects unverified claims concerning its supply chain and global operations
• External legal counsel has been retained for a thorough internal investigation
• Customers rent computing power generated by specialised Nvidia graphics processing units

Megaspeed, the Singapore-based company linked to Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, has clarified that she left the firm in August 2025 and holds no current position there, as reports about her alleged links to Chinese intelligence and her association with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang raise questions over the company's business operations.

In a statement on Sunday, Megaspeed said Alice Huang had officially left the company on August 30, 2025, and was no longer associated with its operations.

"Megaspeed does not comment on Ms Huang’s personal and private matters," the company said.

The clarification comes amid media reports about Alice Huang's alleged connections with Chinese intelligence. According to The New York Times, US intelligence officials believe she is a Chinese intelligence asset.

Megaspeed also rejected allegations concerning its business, supply chain and global operations, saying the claims were not backed by verifiable evidence.

"Megaspeed is aware of recent media reports containing assertions about our business, supply chain and global operations that are not supported by verifiable evidence," the company said.

It added that it conducted "legitimate and lawful business" and had retained external legal counsel to carry out a "thorough internal investigation".

MEGASPEED'S LINKS WITH NVIDIA

Megaspeed describes itself as a "core business partner" of Nvidia's computing power cloud business in the region. Its business allows customers to rent computing power from Nvidia GPUs, or graphics processing units, which are specialised chips designed to perform multiple calculations simultaneously.

The company, which has offices in Singapore and Indonesia, has previously faced media and government scrutiny over concerns that chips supplied through its business could have been redirected to customers in China.

The latest statement comes amid renewed attention on Alice Huang's reported association with Jensen Huang and questions surrounding the company's business operations.

JENSEN HUANG'S EXIT AMID PERSONAL CONTROVERSY

Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO on November 12 amid fallout from reports about his extramarital relationships, one of which reportedly involved a direct report.

The developments have brought renewed attention to his reported ties with Alice Huang and the concerns raised by US intelligence officials over her alleged links to China.
