Alice Huang is reportedly connected to a web of Chinese companies, which then leveraged her closeness to Jensen Huang to gain access to billions of dollars' worth of Nvidia GPUs.
Yeah, it’s the same surname. In Asia, for various reasons (particularly the languages and writing systems) there are generally far fewer surnames to choose from vs. the Western world. For example, almost 1/4th of the population of South Korea has the surname Kim. Huang is the 7th most common Chinese surname, with 32 million people holding it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_Chinese_surnames#400_character_list As @crimeislegalnow@ani.social notes, it’s even more common in Taiwan. It looks like more than 8% have it there.

East Asia mostly. Southeast Asia has more unique surnames, except Vietnam. Thailand literally has a unique surname for every family.
Just as common as people named Huang are supposed Asian language and culture experts who know almost nothing about South Asia. This is me.
Why even bother with surnames at this point 😂
Sir, we figured out his surname is Kim! We only gotta sift through 350,000,000 possible suspects now!
Whoops, I meant Kim was common in South Korea. (Though it’s the same name as Jin in Chinese, but only ranked 62 as that)
