GoKawiilResearch firm Tesari links Alice Huang to businesses tied to Huawei
Private intelligence firm Tesari found that Alice Huang held stakes in Chinese businesses connected to Huawei, Nvidia's top competitor in China, while reportedly having a romantic relationship with ousted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Tesari shared its findings exclusively with CNBC, saying documents show entities tied to Alice Huang supplied Nvidia computing power to Huawei around the same time she and Jensen Huang were first seen publicly together in December 2023. Jensen Huang has acknowledged the affair but the exact timeline of the relationship remains unclear.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The overlap raises questions about whether Jensen Huang's personal relationship intersected with Nvidia's competitive and national-security exposure in China, given Huawei's status as a state-backed champion in chips and telecom. It is not established whether Jensen Huang knew of Alice Huang's business ties to Huawei, so her intent and any knowledge on his part remain open questions rather than confirmed facts. The findings could intensify scrutiny of Nvidia's China dealings amid broader US concerns about technology transfers to Chinese firms.
- Tesari, a private intelligence firm, uncovered Alice Huang's alleged ties to Huawei-linked businesses.
