新加坡内政部透露,该部门已对黄爱丽丝展开调查。这名女子被指为中国情报资产,曾与英伟达前首席执行官黄仁勋保持亲密关系,并可能与陷入困境的服务器制造商超微电脑存在牵连。尽管新加坡方面请求协助,美国当局仅提供了“有限协助”。内政部于周四晚间(新加坡时间)发布声明,概述了其调查活动。

The government of Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs has revealed it investigated Alice Huang, the woman who is an alleged Chinese intelligence asset and had an intimate relationship with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and a possible entanglement with troubled server-maker Supermicro. US authorities provided only “limited assistance” in the matter, despite Singapore asking for help. The Ministry outlined its activities in a statement published late on Thursday, Singapore time.

文件显示,新加坡警察部队(SPF)和关税局于2025年2月开始调查黄女士的公司Megaspeed(美极速)。内政部写道:“涉嫌的国内犯罪涉及采购服务器时可能存在的虚假申报及其他相关罪行。”并补充称,该高管“并未因间谍罪接受调查”。新加坡当局想弄清,本地公司采购的服务器在从未登陆新加坡领土的情况下出口至马来西亚,是否可能最终流向第三国。

The document reveals that Singapore’s Police Force (SPF) and Customs agency commenced an investigation into Ms. Huang’s company, Megaspeed, in February 2025. “The suspected domestic offences pertained to potential false declarations in relation to the purchase of servers and other related offences,” the Ministry wrote, adding that the exec “was not investigated for espionage.”Singaporean authorities wanted to know if servers bought by local companies, but exported to Malaysia without ever touching Singaporean soil, might have ended up in a third country.

新加坡本地公司采购货物却从未运抵该岛,这种情况并不罕见,因为新加坡将自己定位为跨亚洲贸易运营的理想枢纽。新加坡之所以这样做,是因为国土面积狭小——全国面积与纽约市五个行政区的总面积相当。这种体量限制了可在境内运营的数据中心数量。这些限制是马来西亚柔佛地区(距新加坡边境不足20公里,属联合特别经济区)成为主要数据中心聚集地的重要原因。

It is not unusual for Singapore-based companies to acquire goods that never reach the island, because it promotes itself as the ideal spot from which to run an operation that trades across Asia. Singapore does so because it is tiny – the whole nation is the same size as the five boroughs of New York City. That small size means Singapore restricts the number of datacenters that can operate on its soil. Those limits are a big reason why Malaysia’s Johor region, which is under 20kms from the border with Singapore and a joint special economic zone, has become a major datacenter province.

新加坡需要此类合作才能繁荣发展,但也努力确保其开放政策不被滥用。这正是其认为Megaspeed的活动值得调查的原因。美国当局对此也感兴趣。

Singapore needs deals like that to thrive but works hard to ensure its hospitality is not abused. Which is why it felt Megaspeed’s activities worthy of investigation. US authorities were interested too.

2025年6月24日,负责监管受出口管制敏感商品的工业与安全局(BIS)前往新加坡的Megaspeed公司,核查其采购的硬件是否已运抵预定目的地。黄女士出席了该活动,随后接受新加坡警方(SPF)约谈。会谈结束时,警方扣押了她的护照,以便在调查继续期间将其留在新加坡。

On 24 June 2025, the Bureau of Industry and Security, which regulates sensitive goods subject to export controls, visited Megaspeed in Singapore to check the hardware it bought arrived at its intended destination. Ms. Huang attended that event and later met the SPF for an interview. That meeting ended with the SPF impounding her passport, so it could keep her in Singapore while the investigation continued.

随着事态发展,警方怀疑长期陷入麻烦的服务器制造商超微电脑(Supermicro)与此事有关。读者可能记得,美国司法部曾起诉两名超微高管,指控他们合谋违反美国法律向中国出口服务器。超微对此事进行了内部调查,并与三名行为不当的员工解除关系。公司否认曾向Megaspeed销售产品。

As the matter progressed, the SPF suspected perennially troubled server-maker Supermicro had a role in this situation. Readers may recall that the US Department of Justice indicted two Supermicro execs for conspiring to ship servers to China in contravention of US law. Supermicro investigated the matter and parted ways with three staff who acted improperly. The company has denied ever selling to Megaspeed.

新加坡当局表示,仅获得超微“有限配合”,因此于2025年7月,新加坡检察长署向美国当局请求协助。声明披露:“自2025年9月起,新加坡警方多次向美国司法部和联邦调查局重申这一请求。尽管多次请求,新加坡迄今在该公司方面仅获得有限的信息或协助。”

Singaporean authorities say they received only “limited cooperation” from Supermicro, so in July 2025 the office of the nation’s Attorney General asked US authorities for help. “Since September 2025, SPF has repeated this request on several occasions to the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the statement reveals. “Despite these repeated requests, Singapore has to date received limited information or assistance in respect of the company.”

2026年2月,新加坡警方“认定证据不足,无法确立黄女士针对Megaspeed被调查的可能不实申报犯下任何罪行。”但警方认定,黄女士提供了不实信息,“以淡化其在Megaspeed中的角色。”“她被严厉警告,并被禁止再次入境。”警方归还了她的护照,黄女士于当天离开新加坡。

In February 2026, the SPF “concluded that there was insufficient evidence to establish that Huang had committed any offences relating to the possible inaccurate declarations for which Megaspeed was being investigated.”But the police did decide that Ms. Huang provided inaccurate information “to downplay her role in Megaspeed.”“She was issued a stern warning and barred from re-entering the country.”The police returned her passport and Ms. Huang left Singapore on the same day.

新加坡方面的声明显示,这个岛国希望国际社会知晓,它不助长规避制裁活动,并对哪怕只是此类迹象也严肃对待。

The Singaporean statement shows the island nation wants the world to know it does not facilitate sanction-busting activity and takes even the hint of it seriously.

这对英伟达同样重要,因为新加坡买家有时占其季度营收的20%以上,未来可能仍将如此。谁接替黄仁勋出任英伟达首席执行官,必将面临许多关于公司做法的提问。新加坡或许刚刚让回答这些问题变得容易了一些。 ®

That matters to Nvidia, too, because Singaporean buyers sometimes account for over 20 percent of its quarterly revenue and may continue to do so. Whoever replaces Jensen Huang as Nvidia’s CEO will surely face many questions about the company’s practices. Singapore may just have made answering those queries a little easier. ®
