Citing a new Information exclusive, Robert Wiblin lays out an explosive supply-chain scandal: Alice Huang, reportedly involved with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, allegedly leveraged that access to help move 240,000 export-controlled chips (mostly H100/H200) into China — more than double the H100s in xAI's Colossus.
Key points:
- Her sister founded Century Litong in 2023; Alice had zero AI background but built credibility claiming she could always secure chip supply through contacts around Jensen Huang, even posting birthday dinner photos with him on WeChat.
- Within 4 months, Litong became an Nvidia 'preferred cloud partner' with priority chip access it still holds today.
- The story ties to $7 billion-plus of Nvidia chip sales to China.
