Alice Huang bragged about bringing Jensen Huang to Taipei party
· Business · India Today, Indian Express
Businesswoman Alice Huang boasted she could get Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to a June 2024 tech party in Taipei, and he later appeared with her. The claim was recounted by NetThunder CEO Parker Schmitt to The New York Times, who said Alice promoted herself using the connection. The gathering included two other Nvidia executives and became a point of pride for Alice, whose photos with Jensen circulated widely on social media. Alice Huang has been under investigation by U.S. authorities for suspected Chinese espionage links, with her data‑centre firm Megaspeed buying over $4.8 billion of Nvidia chips in two years. According to the NYT report, President Donald Trump had been briefed on the intelligence allegations about Alice about a year before they became public. The story raises questions about the flow of advanced semiconductor technology to China and the potential risks of high‑level access to U.S. tech leaders.
Why it matters
The investigation could affect the supply chain for advanced chips used in Chinese data centers and may tighten U.S. scrutiny on Chinese nationals with access to American tech executives.
