Nvidia’s board of directors has launched an investigation into CEO Jensen Huang following allegations of a concerning relationship with a Singapore-based executive linked to China. The probe comes six months after a short-selling firm first raised red flags about Huang’s ties to Alice Huang, an executive at tech company Megaspeed.
The Culper Report’s Explosive Claims
In May 2026, New York-based Culper Research published a report titled “NVIDIA (NVDA): The China Problem” that examined the relationship between the two executives. The firm alleged Megaspeed was secretly financed by Chinese tech giant Alibaba through what it described as “apparent shell companies.” The report included photographs of the executives together at industry events and cited unnamed sources who claimed Jensen Huang made regular visits to Megaspeed-linked data centers.
State Department Memo Adds Fuel to Fire
The New York Times reported on a secret State Department memo alleging Alice Huang was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security. The memo claims she cultivated Jensen Huang’s favor through billion-dollar purchases of Nvidia chips for AI data centers in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Nvidia’s Response
Nvidia’s board announced Sunday it had engaged independent counsel to investigate whether Huang was “a target of a foreign intelligence effort.” The company emphasized it has “no reason to believe” national security or trade secrets were compromised but said the inquiry would examine all available information. Megaspeed has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, calling itself “a compliant and legitimate company.”
The investigation comes as Nvidia faces increasing scrutiny over its business in China amid tightening U.S. export controls on advanced semiconductors. The chipmaker has become a key player in artificial intelligence technology, making its leadership and partnerships subject to heightened government attention.
