Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s personal life has escalated into a political as well as national security controversy. The 63-year-old billionaire admitted to being unfaithful to his wife with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman believed to be an asset for Beijing’s intelligence services.
The tech mogul claims he was unaware of any links between his alleged mistress and Chinese spy operations, but Republican Senator Kevin Cramer has warned the relationship may compromise national security.
GOP Senator calls for the resignation of Nvidia CEO
Republican Senator Kevin Cramer said the billionaire tech executive should resign, saying his alleged relationship with a suspected spy could expose the world’s leading AI chipmaker to potential blackmail. Speaking to POLITICO on November 10, 2026, the North Dakota senator said the possibility of extortion was too significant to ignore, especially considering Nvidia’s access to highly sensitive AI technology.
Sen. Cramer argued that considering Huang’s position as the head of the company, his alleged espionage link poses a clear national security risk. He told the publication:
“The potential for extortion is so tremendous that something as sensitive as Nvidia chips, I just think he’s got to go. If the worst thing he did in real life is infidelity with this woman who may or may not be a Chinese spy, but she might be; that’s enough, because whatever else there is, we don’t know. And to me, that’s a security risk.”
The Republican senator’s comments follow explosive reports by The New York Times and other media outlets that US officials suspect Alice Huang, a businesswoman associated with Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed, of having links to Chinese intelligence.
Based on what the reports are saying, Alice allegedly formed a romantic connection with the Nvidia CEO and supposedly helped facilitate advanced Nvidia chips to move to China. While the allegations remain under investigation, they have raised serious questions about whether Huang’s affair could have risked, or even exposed, sensitive business information to foreign intelligence operations.
China has rejected the accusations, with its Foreign Ministry describing them as groundless and a smear. Jensen Huang told employees at his company, Nvidia, that he had cheated on his wife, but he has not gone into detail about the affair.
Who is Alice Huang, the suspected Chinese spy and Nvidia CEO’s alleged mistress?
Alice Huang (also known as Huang Le) is a Chinese businesswoman and former executive of Megaspeed International, a data center company headquartered in Singapore. She has come under intense scrutiny following reports alleging that she had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who has been married to Lori Huang for nearly four decades.
According to a profile attributed to her in a Chinese private-fund database, Alice previously worked as a reporter at Hunan TV and state broadcaster CCTV, before joining HSBC and later CITIC Securities as a vice president. However, a Hunan TV executive told the New York Post that he had never heard of her, while her profile could not be located on CCTV’s website.
Alice was reportedly appointed managing director of Megaspeed in March 2023, when the company changed its name from 7Road International. She was subsequently photographed with Jensen at a Taipei bar in June 2024, alongside executives from Gigabyte and NetThunder. The pair were also reportedly spotted leaving a Taipei restaurant in May 2025.
US officials reportedly became concerned about their relationship amid suspicions that Alice was connected to Chinese intelligence. According to media reports, her company purchased USD 4.8 billion worth of Nvidia AI chips, while US Commerce Department officials later inspected its Malaysian facilities and found advanced chips unopened in their original packaging.
The alleged US intelligence memos claim that China’s Ministry of State Security recruited Alice to extract sensitive information from Jensen. However, Beijing has strongly rejected the accusations, calling them “groundless smears and slanders.”
Nvidia’s board, meanwhile, has tapped former acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim to conduct an independent investigation into the allegations. The FBI is also reported to be investigating. Interestingly, US President Donald Trump has also supported the CEO of Nvidia. He said he believed Huang and accepted his explanation that he did not know of the woman’s alleged links to Chinese intelligence.
