GoKawiilBloomberg links Alice Huang-tied firms to smuggled NVIDIA H800 chips in Shanghai
Bloomberg reports that documents it reviewed show a Chinese company tied to Alice Huang acquired NVIDIA H800 chips banned for sale in China, which ended up installed at a Shanghai AI facility also connected to her. The chips reportedly traced back to Aperia Cloud Services in Singapore, which bought 22 Dell servers containing the chips before Dell cut ties with Aperia in February 2025 over concerns about the deal. The filings came from Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing, a firm Alice Huang founded a decade ago but left in 2017, now majority-owned by her sister Huang Yu.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
US officials reportedly believe Alice Huang was recruited by Chinese intelligence to target NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, who has acknowledged a past affair with her, raising questions about whether sensitive chip export controls were being probed or circumvented through personal access to NVIDIA's leadership. The documented chip trail could suggest a broader pattern of export-control evasion involving intermediaries in Singapore, though Bloomberg's filings do not confirm Alice Huang's direct personal involvement in the procurement. The case may intensify scrutiny of NVIDIA's partner network and US chip export enforcement.
