Alice Huang tied to Nvidia chip smuggling claims

Korean outlets report that Alice Huang, the woman at the center of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's admitted affair, is suspected of involvement in diverting advanced AI chips to China. Business Korea reports that chips worth approximately 11 trillion won ($7.5 billion) were allegedly diverted by exploiting personal connections with Jensen Huang, and that Alice Huang is a Chinese executive at a Singapore-based company the U.S. suspects of smuggling AI microchips into China. Korea Times adds that U.S. intelligence officials have accused her of spying for Beijing, while China's foreign ministry has called the "so-called Chinese spy narrative" unsubstantiated. Korean media coverage frames the case as a national security concern for the U.S., with Korea Times noting it has "put Korea on alert" over potential spillover effects, and Business Korea reporting that U.S. tech curbs on China have tightened in the wake of the scandal.
