[Edaily Reporter KIM YOON JI ] Reports have emerged that Alice Huang (Chinese name: Huang Le), a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy who admitted to having been in a romantic relationship with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, is 42 years old and holds Hong Kong permanent residency.
On the 10th, the Hong Kong online media outlet Hong Kong 01 reported that, after tracking corporate registration records in Hong Kong, Singapore, and elsewhere, it found that Alice Huang is originally from Hunan Province, China, has obtained Hong Kong permanent residency, and used a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport when she was listed as a director of the Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed in March 2023.
The previous day, the Chinese business media outlet Caixin, citing sources, reported that Alice Huang is currently about 42 years old and pursued a master’s degree in media management at the School of Communication at Hong Kong Baptist University about 20 years ago. One source described Alice Huang as having the typical appearance of a woman from Hunan Province—a sociable person with a charming smile, a confident demeanor, and excellent communication skills. Alice Huang reportedly told those around her that she had previously worked at Hunan Satellite TV.

However, some details of Alice Huang’s background remain unverified. According to the New York Post, a profile on the Chinese private equity information site “Smuwang” lists Alice Huang as an executive director and fund manager at Shanghai Hesi Investment Management. The profile states that she worked in the media industry for four years, including stints as a reporter at Hunan TV and China Central Television (CCTV), and subsequently spent eight years in the financial sector at HSBC’s private banking division and CITIC Securities.
The New York Post inquired about Alice Huang’s employment history with an executive at Hunan TV but was told, “I’ve never heard of such a person.” No reporter profile under the name Huang Le was found on the Hunan TV or CCTV websites. HSBC and CITIC Securities did not respond to requests for comment.
Specific records have been confirmed regarding some of Alice Huang’s business activities. According to Hong Kong 01, in 2019, she sold a Chinese gaming company she owned through several entities in the British Virgin Islands to the Hong Kong-listed company Seven Road for 1 billion yuan. In 2023, she acquired a Singaporean subsidiary of Seven Road to secure controlling interest in Megaspeed, and Alice Huang served as a director of Megaspeed from March to November of that year. She continued to be involved in the company’s management; according to the WSJ, she introduced herself as Megaspeed’s CEO to a business partner in August 2025.
Hong Kong 01 reported that Alice Huang also served as a director of Nanjing Lingxing Keji, the operator of the Chinese ride-hailing platform T3 Chuxing, and established two new companies in Hong Kong between July and August of this year.
Alice Huang and Jensen Huang were spotted together on several occasions starting in 2024. According to the WSJ, Alice Huang met CEO Huang at NVIDIA’s annual event in California in early 2024, and the two also attended Computex Taipei in Taiwan together in June of that year.
During CEO Huang’s visit to Taiwan in May 2025, the two were spotted dining at a local restaurant alongside executives from other tech companies. Video footage and photos taken at the time also captured them lightly kissing each other on the cheek and getting into the same car.
The Financial Times (FT) reported that the two were also photographed together at a dinner in Shanghai, as well as in Hong Kong and California. The FT explained that the photos were primarily taken at group gatherings and that the photos alone were insufficient to confirm an inappropriate relationship.
Alice Huang was also involved in business ventures utilizing NVIDIA’s cutting-edge semiconductors. According to the FT, when she pitched an artificial intelligence (AI) data center business to Chinese investors in early 2025, she emphasized her ability to secure NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) and her business relationship with Alibaba. She reportedly did not mention her close relationship with CEO Jensen Huang to the investors.
Alice Huang’s current whereabouts remain unknown. According to the WSJ, sources who communicated with her earlier this year said she was in China at the time. The FT reported that it was unable to reach Alice Huang by phone and that her WeChat and email accounts appeared to have been deleted.
