How Kang Wei and Alice Huang Built an AI GPU Smuggling Scheme

Reports indicate that Shanghai fund manager Kang Wei introduced his wife, Alice Huang, to billionaire Jensen Huang, allowing her to gain close access to Nvidia's inner circle by the 2020s. Sources noted that Kang would often joke about her relationship with the billionaire while building a massive operation. Kang and Alice established significant financial ties through Shanghai Hexi, an investment firm where Alice eventually acquired a stake. Over the years, their business dealings expanded into video games and cloud computing infrastructure, coinciding with the rise of artificial intelligence and subsequent trade restrictions.
