Nvidia scandal: Was Alice Huang really a Chinese spy?

Wang Le, also known as Alice Wang, is at the center of NVIDIA's recent turmoil. Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of the chipmaker on Thursday, after his affair with the alleged Chinese spy came to light. Now, U.S. officials are casting doubt on whether she was involved in espionage at all. But you assume that DOJ... learns that she is in fact a spy. I'm not, nobody said that. I certainly haven't said that. Last week, the New York Times reported that top U.S. officials believed Alice Wong was working for China's intelligence agency. According to the Times, these revelations were a cause for concern within the Trump administration. The NVIDIA CEO was known to be an influential ally of the president as the White House races with China for AI dominance. Now, CNN is citing U.S. government sources who disagree with these claims. All I said a minute ago and all that I think I will say is that, of course, DOJ is investigating or looking at it. So there's no conclusions reached by the Department of Justice or by me or by Director Patel around who she is or is not. China has denied that Alice Wang is a spy. She was previously a television reporter in China before working in banking and investment. Wang is married to Chinese businessman Kong Wei. In 2023, she became director of Megaspeed, a data center provider based in Singapore. The company is suspected of routing billions of dollars worth of advanced Nvidia computer chips to China. Meanwhile, she was getting closer with Jensen Wang. Photos have emerged of them together from at least three years ago. After their affair was made public, Nvidia launched an investigation. Jensen Wang apologized that he'd been unfaithful to his wife before resigning. Alice Wang has returned to China and now is reportedly living in Beijing, according to people familiar with the situation.
