Who is Alice Huang? The Megaspeed boss behind $4bn of Nvidia chips

Her long-time business partner is Kang Wei, 51. He has been described as her husband, but no publicly available document confirms that. Chinese regulators fined him at least twice for failing to disclose stakes in listed companies. By 2020 their web of companies was buying and investing in other businesses, and that spring it helped build an AI computing centre in Shanghai for Tencent.

What is Megaspeed?

In late 2022 the US began restricting sales of top AI chips to China. In 2023 Huang used a British Virgin Islands company to buy 7Road International, a Singapore online games firm, and renamed it Megaspeed. She became director on 6 March 2023. Ownership later moved to Singapore's Swiftdata.

In December 2023 she met Jensen Huang and a few others at a Singapore restaurant. Four days after the ownership change, Megaspeed became an Nvidia cloud partner. From June 2024 it received large shipments, worth over $4 billion in total. Alibaba became a key customer, and Megaspeed's Malaysian subsidiary pledged servers and intellectual property to Apex, an Alibaba subsidiary.

Why was she under scrutiny?

That much hardware draws attention. In late 2024 the US Commerce Department sent an official to Megaspeed's data centre to check the chips were there. Taiwan began monitoring her visits, at US suggestion; she entered on a Hong Kong passport. In 2025 Singapore barred her from leaving the country and questioned her over false import declarations. Evidence was insufficient to treat her as a participant, and her case was closed. The investigation into Megaspeed itself continued.

Megaspeed kept building a data centre in Malaysia, with engineers from Shanghai Shuoyao, another firm in her network that Shanghai authorities held up as a model company.
