Megaspeed and the battle to go high-end Nvidia chips into China

Jensen Huang's affair with a suspected Chinese spy has shone a light on Megaspeed, the company she worked for. It is under investigation in the US for smuggling Nvidia chips into China, which it denies.

As Nvidia , one of the world's most valuable companies, grapples with CEO Jensen Huang's romantic relationship with an alleged Chinese spy , attention is turning to the much smaller company she worked for. Alice H., the alleged spy, worked as an executive for Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center and AI computing company.

It manages data center access, including for some major Chinese tech firms such as Alibaba. According to Megaspeed's website as of November 2026, the company advertises itself as an "Nvidia cloud partner", saying it provides "computing power product services covering Nvidia's entire GPU product line." GPU stands for Graphic Processing Unit, a specialized electronic circuit that are in high demand for artificial intelligence (AI) applications, because they are designed to handle high numbers of parallel mathematical calculations.
