Alice Huang’s husband reportedly accepted wife’s relationship with Jensen Huang

Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive whom U.S. intelligence has alleged to be a Chinese spy, was reportedly introduced to recently-ousted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang by her husband, Chinese businessman Kang Wei.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Nov. 11 that people who know the couple said Kang had known Jensen Huang for about a decade.

Called wife a "personal assistant" to Jensen Huang

According to the report, Kang appeared to accept his wife’s relationship with the Nvidia chief.

He allegedly spoke openly about their closeness for about two years.

WSJ reported that he even half-jokingly told associates that she was Jensen Huang’s “personal assistant”.

Jensen Huang had reportedly known Kang since the 2010s, according to U.S. tech website The Information.

Jensen Huang, who is married, was first seen together with Alice Huang in June 2024.

They were mingling at a bar with other tech executives after a technology trade show in Taipei.

Tech investors told The New York Times (NYT) that Alice Huang and her associates often boasted about her ties to Jensen Huang, using them to raise funds and promote the business.

Nvidia declined comment to WSJ, which said it could not reach Kang or Alice Huang for comment.

Who is Kang Wei?

Kang is reportedly in his early 50s.

He founded Shanghai Hexi in 2010, a private equity firm of which Alice was reportedly a major shareholder and senior executive.

He and Alice Huang reportedly co-ran the company from 2016.

Alice Huang was previously the managing director of Singapore-based Megaspeed, which U.S. intelligence has alleged smuggled advanced Nvidia AI chips to China.

Nvidia has denied this.

Kang has also been embroiled in controversial capital operations in recent years.

He was recently under criminal scrutiny for manipulating listed stocks, Caixin reported.

Sources claimed that Chinese securities regulators previously fined him as well.

Investigations into Megaspeed ongoing

In February 2025, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Singapore Customs initiated an independent investigation into several companies and their key officers, including Megaspeed.

On Nov. 12, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said Singapore police had concluded in February 2026 that there was insufficient evidence that Alice Huang had committed offences relating to possible false declarations by Megaspeed.

However, police assessed that she had given inaccurate information during investigations to downplay her role in the company.

Police issued her a stern warning and barred her from re-entering Singapore, and she has not returned since.

Police investigations into Megaspeed and six other individuals are ongoing.
