Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with a suspected Chinese spy: timeline of events

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sent a letter to employees acknowledging infidelity to his wife of 40 years; U.S. officials believe his extramarital partner, Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, is a Chinese spy who passes intelligence back to Beijing. The Nvidia board has launched an independent investigation, and Jensen Huang said he will fully cooperate; according to The New York Times, a classified memo was circulated within the Trump administration warning that Alice Huang acts as a spy for China's Ministry of State Security. According to reports, Singapore-based Megaspeed purchased $4.8 billion of Nvidia chips in two years, and Shanghai Century Litong, founded by Alice Huang and her family, facilitated $7.5 billion in chip purchases, including chips subject to sales bans; both the United States and Singapore have investigated the company over suspected export violations.
