Who is Alice Huang? A lot of people keep asking me this. I actually don't know her, but I think I know the type.
In China over the last 30 yrs, there's a businessmen who skirts to the edge of legality, grabbing every opportunity possible to get rich, and who sometimes operate in the grey or even illegal zone
They are the type who go around introducing themselves as representing someone powerful (ask Desmond Shum about this) or who pretend to be representing someone powerful (ask Ye Jianming)
They bought A6 Audis in the early 2000s to make people think they were related to the government and buy Van Cleef and Arpels jewelry today to look the part. They got EMBAs at a Chinese university to network with the real billionaire tycoons.
The men drink Maotaik and chain smoke cigarettes. They used to go to KTV, had mistresses and saw hookers every week. They look like shit, doughy and smelling from the smokez but because of their money - or supposed money - they get somewhat good looking girls all the time.
The women doll themselves out in their 40s and 50s and look ok but not good. They try hard. They are always wearing a dress that's professional but also attractive and have the perfect handbag. They look cosmopolitan with their La Mer makeup but every once in a while, their peasant background pops out, whether it be how they order waitstaff around or in their skin tone.
These businessmen are the ones who bought baby formula in Australia and Hong Kong and smuggled it into the mainland when everyone was scared to drink Chinese baby formula
They bought iphones in Hong Kong and smuggled them in minivans into the mainland.
They were the ones who operated P2P financial lending out of personal bank accounts, sometimes running up hundreds of millions in deals, before the government cracked down
They were the ones who did reverse shell IPOs to the US. The companies they took public were stinkers and investors lost out but it was all semi legal so no one got arrested.
They drove sales of luxury items by buying Louis Vuitton and Rolex for corrupt officials to gain some semblance of access and protection
They were the ones who took Singaporean citizenship to evade Chinese law but still be able to get to the mainland as needed for business.
They aren't necessarily bad people. Sone are. But they are desperate people. Wanting to get wealthy. Wanting to belong to an elite social class. Wanting to capitalize on any business opportunity or connection
These are the people who would buy Nvidia chips to rent to Alibaba or to smuggle into the mainland against the wishes of both the Chinese and American governments
This is my guess who Alice Huang is. She looks the part. So does her background. But I have no evidence or knowledge so take anything I write a out her with a grain of salt
But spy? I doubt it. Smuggler? Highly likely. Happy that she got such a prise in Jensen, undoubtedly.
Honeypot by Chinese government? Doubtful.
Talk to government once in a while about info she might have gotten from Jensen, very possible
But her life is ruined. She'll never be able to travel internationally now without people saying she's a spy. She might get held and arrested. She'll have to stay in China forever
