It became known who arranged the acquaintance of the head of Nvidia with his mistress

The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, reports that Alice Huang, whom American intelligence agencies suspect of working for Beijing, the head of Nvidia Jensen Huang was introduced to her own husband - entrepreneur Kang Wei. According to the newspaper, Kang Wei had known the Nvidia executive for about a decade. It was he who introduced his wife to him, after which the billionaire and Alice began an affair. At the same time, it is alleged that Kang Wei for about two years treated this relationship calmly. He spoke openly about them to acquaintances, and sometimes jokingly referred to his wife as Huang's "personal assistant.".

When exactly Kang Wei and Alice Huang met, it is not specified. Since at least 2016, they have co-managed the Shanghai Hexi fund, which has invested in technology companies. The pair have been looking for the most lucrative destinations, from video games and pharmaceuticals to cloud computing, building complex corporate chains to raise capital. According to the WSJ, it was thanks to the activities of the foundation that Kang Wei met Jensen Huang in the 2010s. At the time, Nvidia was betting on chips for video games.

By the early 2020s, Kahn and Alice Huang had become interested in cloud computing and were forging connections with Chinese tech giants. In 2023, they acquired the company’s Singapore-based video game development division, which they had previously invested in. Later, this division was renamed Megaspeed International, and Alice Huang was registered as CEO. According to sources, Kahn developed the business with her. Alibaba played a key role in the launch of the project. In November 2023, Megaspeed gained priority access to Nvidia chips, naming Alibaba its future key customer.

Soon after, Alice Huang contacted Jensen Huang. The WSJ, citing photographs and eyewitness accounts, said they met repeatedly in 2024 and 2025. Taiwanese media published pictures of Jensen Huang's daughter photographing the couple in May 2025 over dinner. Kang Wei, according to the WSJ, was recently released from custody in Shanghai as part of an investigation into stock market manipulation. Alice Huang was detained by Singaporean authorities in the summer of 2025 and banned from leaving the country; the ban was later lifted and spotted in China earlier this year. Last week, The New York Times wrote that Huang was suspected of having “close ties” with Alice Huang, whom US intelligence agencies believe was recruited by the Ministry of State Security of China. According to the Financial Times, the couple had a romantic relationship. Beijing denies the espionage charges.
