The affair of the head of Nvidia with a Chinese woman helped arrange the supply of chips to China for 7.5 billion dollars -. Reuters.
According to the publication, the Chinese woman Alice Huang together with her husband and sister created a network of companies in China and Singapore to purchase Nvidia chips. One of the key structures was the Shanghai Century Litong Company, founded in June 2023. By October, it was granted Nvidia's privileged cloud partner status, giving it priority access to the company's products.
When shipments of chips subject to US export restrictions ran into obstacles, Alice Huang used her connections with Nvidia and its distributors to help secure the necessary shipments. According to The Information, about 240 thousand chips from the H100, H200 and A100 models could reach China this way.
After the investigation was released, Nvidia shares fell more than 4% in trading on Monday. The company's board of directors has launched an internal investigation to determine whether foreign intelligence may have exploited Huang's relationship with the woman. The FBI is also investigating the case.
