Nvidia servers still in their boxes: As Jensen Huang's controversy grows, here's what a US official found inside Megaspeed's Malaysian data centre in 2024

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently admitted that was unfaithful to his wife. He also said that he is committed to "supporting America's national security." Huang had a close relationship with alleged Chinese spy Alice Huang. It was also reported that Alice had been under surveillance by US intelligence agencies. The New York Times reported that the US intelligence assessments concluded that Alice had been recruited by China's Ministry of State Security (MSS). She was allegedly given the role of developing a close relationship with Jensen, and gathering information about Nvidia. It was reported that China wanted information about Nvidia's advanced AI chips and business strategy.

Notably, it still remains unclear when Alice Huang first met Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Alice Huang was seen sitting with Jensen in June 2024 at a bar in Taipei. Megaspeed had also begun a multibillion-dollar purchase of advanced AI microchips at that time, according to a New York Times report.

Why are all eyes on Megaspeed?

US agencies believe that Alice Huang was a Megaspeed executive and a Chinese spy. She was assigned the role to feed information back to China. Megaspeed is a Singapore-based AI infrastructure company. According to reports, it had purchased $4.8 billion in Nvidia chips over the last two years.

In October 2025, it was reported that Megaspeed was under investigation by the US and Singaporean governments. It was suspected that the company was involved in helping Chinese companies get around American embargoes on chip exports, according to TechCrunch.

Times reported that Megaspeed was renting computing power to Chinese companies. In 2024, a Commerce Department official visited Megaspeed's data center in Malaysia. The official has reportedly found a hoard of Nvidia equipment that was still packed in boxes. The main concern was that this equipment was being directly shipped somewhere like China.
