Alice Huang Vanishes From Public View as Megaspeed Assets Jumped to $3 Billion

3 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Nov 10

Summary

  • Alice Huang’s whereabouts are unknown, her social media accounts have been deleted, and key details of her age, education, jobs and even title at Megaspeed remain unverified.
  • Megaspeed drew U.S. scrutiny after Huang joined as a director in March 2023 and the Singapore unit’s assets swelled to $3 billion in 2024 from $33 million, fueling suspicions it routed Nvidia chips to Chinese firms.
  • Bai Jie, a former CCTV anchor with more than 2 million Weibo followers, briefly said she knew Huang from their journalism days, then denied the post after it vanished; her account was later barred from posting.
  • Chinese officials deny Huang was a spy, Trump said Jensen Huang told him he knew nothing of any intelligence ties, and CIA veteran Dennis Wilder said her thin, disappearing biography resembled classic spycraft.
