Locations Former Nvidia Chief Jensen Huang Was Seen With Alleged Affair Partner and Suspected Chinese Spy Alice Huang

By Seeker

In June 2024, a photograph showed Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang sitting beside Alice Huang at an event during Computex, the annual technology trade show in Taipei. On May 22, 2025, Taiwanese television filmed them arriving at a Taipei restaurant, greeting each other with a hug and leaving in the same car. Sources identified Alice in both appearances to Reuters. Also known as Huang Le, she was an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed International. She and Jensen share a surname and are unrelated. The public record leaves open when they met and when the reported affair began or ended. Their relationship became a national security story in late October 2026. The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials had concluded that Alice passed information to Beijing. China’s Foreign Ministry rejected the allegation on November 9. Reuters reported that it was unable to reach Alice for comment and that she had also given no response to the Times. On November 10, Rep. Jim Himes told NPR that a classified briefing had left him uncertain about the extent of her ties to the Chinese government. Alice’s work brought the story into a dispute over access to advanced AI chips. Megaspeed advertised a partnership with Nvidia and faced allegations that it had shipped Nvidia chips into China in violation of U.S. export restrictions. The company disputed the allegation and said it took its export obligations seriously. Singaporean authorities separately said they had questioned Alice in their investigation of Megaspeed. They said they found insufficient evidence that she had committed an offense and barred her from reentering Singapore over concerns about the accuracy of information she gave them. On November 8, Jensen told Nvidia employees he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologized for hurting his family. His statement left the other person unnamed. That same day, Nvidia’s board announced an independent investigation into whether he had been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. The board said at the time that it had no reason to believe Nvidia’s secrets or U.S. national security had been compromised. President Donald Trump later said the FBI was looking into the matter. The status of that inquiry remained unclear as of November 12. On November 12, Nvidia announced that Jensen had resigned as president, chief executive and a member of the board. Chief financial officer Colette Kress took over as interim CEO. The company’s announcement gave no account of either the relationship or the allegations that had prompted the board’s review. The photographs in this collection take the story back to the places where Jensen and Alice were pictured together. Two entries trace their documented Taipei appearances. The Shanghai dinner and the California resort photographs have identifiable settings, with their dates still unverified.

The Taipei Bar Photo in Jensen Huang’s Alleged Chinese Spy Story

The Taipei Bar Photo in Jensen Huang’s Alleged Chinese Spy Story

Historic Landmarks

At a gathering photographed during Computex in June 2024, Jensen Huang sits at a table with other guests. In a second view, people raise their glasses. The wide shots make it possible to look past the table and see how the room is arranged. Pale columns break up the interior, and plants fill some of the space between them. Taiwanese reporting used those details to identify the likely setting as Opéra Taipei. The photos returned to the news after reports about Alice Huang, whom The New York Times identified as the businesswoman U.S. officials suspected of passing information to Beijing. China denied the allegation. Sources told Reuters that the woman seated beside Jensen Huang in a 2024 Taipei photo was Alice Huang. The photos show who was there and offer clues about the room. The bar sits on the fifteenth floor of ILLUME Taipei, at 100 Dunhua North Road in Songshan. Its own photographs give a wider view of the interior than the gathering pictures do. Taipei Arena and Taipei 101 are among the landmarks the venue lists in its view. The skyline helps orient the building within the city. The useful clues in the gathering photos are closer to the camera, where the columns and plantings appear together. That makes the hotel an unusual map pin. At street level, the point lands on a large building with several spaces inside. The venue record adds the vertical detail that a street map loses. The likely room is upstairs, and the floor matters as much as the address if you’re trying to compare it with the image. The separate venue photograph in the gallery lets readers see the interior outside the context of the gathering. The images were published during the June 2024 trade show, when people from the computer industry were in Taipei. The exact evening remains unconfirmed. Opéra Taipei is a likely match based on the room, and the pin identifies the hotel that houses it.

The Taipei Dinner Footage Revisited After the Alleged Chinese Spy Reports

The Taipei Dinner Footage Revisited After the Alleged Chinese Spy Reports

Historic Landmarks

Reporters and fans were gathered outside 三六食府 on May 22, 2025. When Jensen Huang came out, he had fried rice and noodles for the reporters and fans who had gathered on the lane. He warned them that the food was hot and asked them to leave room for cars to pass. East Broadcasting’s report from that night captures the scale of the scene. A dinner during one of Taipei’s biggest tech events ended with takeout being handed around outside a neighborhood restaurant. The footage drew fresh attention after reporting about Alice Huang. The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials suspected her of passing information to Beijing, an allegation China denied. Reuters linked her to the May 22 footage. The news report from the night of the dinner separately documents Jensen Huang’s visit and the food he shared outside. Huang also pointed back toward the restaurant and recommended its chicken soup. He answered questions in Taiwanese and Mandarin, moving between remarks about the food and questions about Nvidia’s plans in Taiwan. The exchange happened at No. 13, Lane 92, Shida Road, an address recorded in Taiwan’s business registry. The door leads off a side lane in Da’an, away from the exhibition spaces where much of Computex took place. That explains why his request to keep the road clear mattered to the people standing around him. 三六食府 is a Mandarin restaurant associated with dishes such as claypot chicken soup, Shaoxing braised pork, and peppercorn noodles. The food photo in the gallery comes from another visit and gives a view of what the restaurant serves. The news footage supplies the evidence for Huang’s dinner and the encounter outside. Together, they give the pin a clear anchor and a story specific to this address. The soup he singled out was a specialty of the kitchen behind him.

The Shanghai Toast in the Alleged Chinese Spy Coverage

The Shanghai Toast in the Alleged Chinese Spy Coverage

Historic Landmarks

In the Shanghai dinner photograph, Jensen Huang lifts a wine glass at a table set close to the windows. The frame extends past the dishes and the glass to the river and the buildings across it. That view gives the photograph a geographic setting. It puts the dining room along the Huangpu, with enough open frontage for the opposite bank to be visible behind the table. East Broadcasting reproduced the toast photograph in its coverage of Alice Huang and Jensen Huang. The New York Times had reported that U.S. officials suspected Alice Huang of passing information to Beijing. China denied the allegation. The photograph is relevant here because it shows the dining room and its riverfront setting. East Broadcasting published the image and identified the venue as Pujiang Huaiyan. Coverage of the restaurant’s 2023 opening supplies an independent description of the place. It describes a riverfront dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows at 1833 Binjiang Avenue, in Pudong. A merchant list published by Shanghai’s commerce commission records Pujiang Huaiyan at the same address. The opening coverage and address record establish the restaurant and its setting. The published report ties that setting to the photograph. The river matters because the camera captures the space beyond the room as clearly as it captures the meal. The window is broad enough to bring the opposite shore into a portrait taken from inside. In this case, the exterior view and the venue description are consistent with each other. That is a more specific point of comparison than the arrangement of plates or glasses, which can change from one meal to the next. The map pin is approximate at building scale along Binjiang Avenue. The date and exact table remain unverified. The restaurant address is the part of the identification that can be placed with confidence, and the riverfront view helps explain why the dining room appears the way it does in the photo.

The California Golf Resort Photo in the Alleged Chinese Spy Story

The California Golf Resort Photo in the Alleged Chinese Spy Story

Historic Landmarks

In the outdoor portrait, Jensen Huang stands beside a close-cut patch of turf. A pale path follows the green’s curve. Just beyond it, a timber pergola has glass panels between its square posts. Any one of those features could be found at another golf resort. Their placement next to one another is what points to Oak Terrace at CordeValle in San Martin, California. Mothership published the outdoor portrait as an image of Jensen Huang and Alice Huang. It appeared amid coverage of reporting by The New York Times that U.S. intelligence officials suspected Alice Huang of passing information to Beijing. China denied the allegation. The location match rests on the visible features of the terrace. CordeValle describes Oak Terrace as an event space overlooking its course. Its venue photographs show the putting green and the terrace in relation to the clubhouse. Visit Morgan Hill publishes a view from a different angle. In the wider views, the green wraps around a paved seating area, and the pergola runs along its edge. Those relationships give the portrait a plausible position near the clubhouse. The date of the image is unknown, and the pin represents the terrace area rather than a camera position. A separate photo contains what looks like a more direct clue. A plaque beside an orange wall identifies John Kennedy’s Friendship Bench. A named artwork is searchable in a way that a stretch of turf generally isn’t, and CordeValle says it displays Kennedy’s work. Placing the bench would still require a venue record or a photograph that shows this particular cast with the same wall. The available resort photographs establish the golf terrace and leave the bench unresolved. The difference between the two photos is in what can be matched around the subject. At Oak Terrace, the path, the green and the pergola can be checked together in wider views of the same space. In the bench frame, the plaque identifies the work, while the wall behind it has yet to be tied to a particular site.
