**Deck**: Reports say Nvidia’s board is weighing whether to remove CEO Jensen Huang after disclosure of a second extramarital relationship, even as an alleged Chinese spy linked to him is now said to be in Beijing with security officials’ knowledge. The controversy hits the leadership of a key chipmaker already under scrutiny over its ties to China.

Jensen Huang, who built Nvidia into one of the world’s most influential chip companies, is now under intense pressure over his private life and its intersection with national‑security concerns.

Spanish‑language reporting citing The Wall Street Journal says Nvidia’s board is preparing to consider dismissing Huang after a second extramarital relationship came to light, this time with Kimberly Powell, the company’s vice president for healthcare. That follows Huang’s own admission of an affair with businesswoman Alice Huang and a board‑ordered investigation into espionage allegations linked to that earlier relationship.

In a separate strand of the same saga, fresh reporting says Alice Huang, described as an alleged Chinese spy connected to the Nvidia CEO scandal, is currently in Beijing and that Chinese security officials are aware of her presence. Her whereabouts had been unclear since Jensen Huang acknowledged their affair and Nvidia’s board launched its internal probe.

Alice Huang founded Megaspeed, identified as a major Nvidia partner that has imported more than $4.6 billion in Nvidia products. The reporting does not complete the description of those imports but makes clear the scale of the business, underlining why any suggestion of espionage around that relationship would alarm regulators.

For Nvidia, the combination of potential leadership change and scrutiny over China‑linked partners lands at a sensitive moment. The company’s chips sit at the heart of artificial intelligence and advanced computing, and its sales into China are already constrained by U.S. export controls.

Board deliberations over Huang’s future, any findings from the internal investigation, and possible regulatory interest in Megaspeed’s imports will determine whether this remains a corporate governance crisis or turns into a broader test of how closely U.S. authorities police strategic technology ties with China.
