Former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, whom the United States has accused of being a Chinese spy and of an extramarital affair with Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, has been barred from re-entering Singapore after providing inaccurate information to police. Huang, a Hong Kong resident, was found by Singapore police to have downplayed her role at Megaspeed during their investigations, the Ministry of Home Affairs said on Thursday.

The ministry said Singapore had concluded in February that there was insufficient evidence to bring charges, but the decision to bar Huang from re-entry followed the discovery that her earlier account had been misleading. The case sits within a wider scandal over the diversion of Nvidia artificial intelligence chips, in which Huang has been named as the alleged Chinese spy.S1S2
