What we know so far about Nvidia partner Megaspeed’s Asia footprint

Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based cloud computing firm that operates data centers across Southeast Asia, is facing renewed scrutiny over suspicions that it facilitated billions of dollars of restricted Nvidia chips to China — and its de facto leader’s close relationship with the chipmaker’s CEO Jensen Huang.

Alice Huang, also known by her Chinese name Huang Le, was identified in U.S. intelligence as having been recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to gather information on Jensen, according to people briefed on the intelligence cited by The New York Times.

The Information reported that her relationship with Jensen helped facilitate at least $7.5 billion in Nvidia chip shipments to Chinese firms, according to two people who know her as cited by the publication. CNBC could not independently verify the report.

Bloomberg also reported that she has returned to Beijing with the knowledge of Chinese security officials.

The case has drawn scrutiny from Washington as Jensen Huang has cultivated ties with President Donald Trump and advocated for relaxed chip export controls to China.

Alice Huang, the Chinese executive who reportedly used her relationship with Nvidia’s CEO to solicit business, served as managing director for eight months in 2023. Corporate filings show that she received one Megaspeed share for 1 Singapore dollar on the day she stepped down as managing director.

Megaspeed, which says it is an Nvidia Cloud Partner in the Asia-Pacific region and offers access to Nvidia’s GB200 NVL72 and HGX H100 systems, saw its assets surge to about $3 billion in 2024, from just $33 million a year earlier, and just $75 in 2022.

Revenue rose to $294 million in 2024 from zero in 2023, according to the filings, while the company posted a loss of about $20 million. 

Singapore police opened an investigation into Megaspeed in October 2025 over suspected breaches of domestic law.

The Wall Street Journal separately reported that Singapore officials had investigated Alice Huang over alleged…
