@shanaka86 So the key question did the company knowingly circumvent U.S. law in selling chips to China?

[Matthew2529🇺🇸 @matthew2529_]

@shanaka86 Has anyone considered Jensen was honeypotting Alice to get $7B of sales for Nvidia shareholders? He’s taking one for the team guys

[MissFina 🇨🇦🇭🇰🇨🇳 @Love4Spring]

The Jensen Huang 'affair' narrative looks more like a convenient distraction from the real issue: possible circumvention of US export controls.

Alice Huang does not fit the profile of a clandestine Chinese intelligence asset—Xi’s government has been actively restricting mainland companies from buying H200 chips even after the Trump administration approved sales in exchange for a 25% cut of the revenue.

Roughly 600,000 of those chips are currently sitting in Hong Kong warehouses while Beijing withholds large-scale import approvals and pushes firms toward domestic processors. The more straightforward explanation is commercial.

Megaspeed, where Alice Huang was formerly an executive, purchased about $4.8 billion in NVIDIA equipment, which ended up in data centers in Malaysia. Multiple reports and claims have identified Alibaba as a major end customer for that capacity (Alibaba Cloud itself operates a region in Johor).

Under current rules, leasing compute from chips that never enter mainland China is not treated as an export, creating a practical workaround.

Whether the personal relationship was used to facilitate those deals, or whether admitting an affair was a way to shift focus away from the sanctions questions, is the part that still needs clearer answers.

JUST IN: Jensen Huang's yearslong ties to Alice Huang enabled more than $7 billion of Nvidia chip sales to China, per The Information. It reports that she, her sister and her husband built a web of companies in China and Singapore.

That network moved about 240,000 super advanced Nvidia Ai chips, worth at least $7.5 billion, to Chinese buyers. It cites 2 people who know her.

The hub, by that account, was Shanghai Century Litong. It was founded in June 2023 and became an Nvidia preferred cloud partner by October, which put it near the front of the queue.

When export rules stalled orders, The Information says, Alice Huang leaned on her links inside Nvidia and among its distributors.

Some of the hardware ended up serving Alibaba, Tencent and smaller Chinese labs.

The report adds that 'Megaspeed', the Singapore cloud firm where she held a senior role, set up a Malaysian unit called Speedmatrix back in 2024. Its equipment later reached Century Litong.

Reuters could not verify the report. Nvidia, Megaspeed and Century Litong did not immediately comment. Megaspeed has denied wrongdoing before.

Nvidia said in October that diversion claims against Megaspeed had been investigated and debunked.

The New York Times reported in October that US officials concluded Alice Huang was a Chinese intelligence asset.

China's foreign ministry calls that a smear. On Sunday Jensen told staff he had been unfaithful to his wife. His board opened an independent review with outside counsel and said it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised.

President Trump says the Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into it, and that Jensen told him he had no idea she was a spy.

The New York Times now reports that the Justice Department asked Commerce to pause its part of the Megaspeed probe after an Nvidia representative contacted Commerce investigators.

Washington is moving fast.

House China committee chair John Moolenaar says Congress must "get to the bottom" of it. 3 House chairs want Huang at a closed-door briefing on 18th November and asked for his answer by 11th November.

Senators Jim Banks and Elizabeth Warren want tighter chip export limits written into the defence bill.

Democrats, who won both chambers in last week's midterms, say Congress will investigate. A shareholder has already sued Nvidia and Huang in San Jose, claiming investors were misled.

Investors have already marked the stock down. Nvidia closed at $178.67 on Monday, down 4.27%, and traded near $171.57 on Tuesday morning. That is about 8% in 2 sessions, or roughly $360 billion of value. Bank of America took it off its US 1 List of best ideas but kept its Buy rating. Wells Fargo cut its target to $300 from $315, and Aletheia Capital moved to Hold.

The business reports on 17th November. Nvidia guided to $108 billion of revenue, plus or minus 2%, which tops out at $110.16 billion. Analysts expect about $108.8 billion to $109.2 billion.

Nvidia has beaten the top of its own range in each of the last 9 quarters. Its thinnest cushion was 2.6% over the midpoint, in the quarter that ended in April 2025.

The way things are happening, a highly likely scenario is that the 17th November release shows revenue above $110.16 billion. This is very likely!

The guide already leaves out China data centre sales, and every allegation so far concerns where chips went in past years. I am wrong if reported revenue for the quarter is $110.16 billion or less.

Buttigieg: I think the statement Vance made recently that's so apt here is when he said, you don't turn around the Titanic overnight. It really captures the situation over there at the White House where you've got a sinking ship and weirdly, everybody's just clinging to the railings and doubling down.
