AFP could not verify the profile. A Hunan TV executive told the Post, "I have not heard of her." The Standard reports Hunan TV found no record of her employment (The Standard).
The espionage allegations
The Times reported in late October 2026 that US agencies had conducted electronic surveillance of her for at least a year. On November 6 it reported that a memo shared with Trump administration policymakers cited intelligence that she was working for China's Ministry of State Security. CNBC reports that Jensen Huang told staff he had been intimate with her, and that Nvidia's board opened an independent investigation, saying it has "no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised" (CNBC).
The Post reports that Singapore authorities questioned her in 2025 and released her without charge, and that she "is not officially accused of wrongdoing." Nvidia says Jensen Huang's interactions with her were "not unusual." The Standard notes the alleged espionage links "have not been independently established."
