Singapore-based cloud firm Megaspeed International has listed a small news agency in rural Australia as the address of its Australian director. The discovery raises further questions about the company. It is already under scrutiny over claims that it helped Chinese buyers get restricted Nvidia chips. Reports have also tied the case to Nvidia chief Jensen Huang.

Australian Filing Points to a Rural Retail Shop

Megaspeed set up arms in the United States and Australia in 2024. Both filings name Kai Kang, 29, as the only officer. The Australian filing says he was born in Shanghai. It names the Singapore parent as the owner. Kang is also a director of Megaspeed units in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.

The search for an Australian address led to Seymour News, a news agency and lottery shop in Seymour, Victoria. The town is about an hour north of Melbourne. A woman who identified herself as Kang's mother runs the shop. She said she has done so for about 16 years. She said Kang lives in Shanghai and has no role in the store.

The firm's business address in Australia is an office building in Sydney. A concierge said it is a virtual office used for admin work.

Megaspeed Faces Questions Over Nvidia Chip Links

The first widely recognized media coverage of Megaspeed occurred in 2025 when The New York Times reported that US officials are examining whether the company aided Chinese customers in connecting to banned Nvidia GPUs. In October 2025, Singapore police said the firm was under investigation for alleged violations of the country's laws. 

Megaspeed describes itself as an Nvidia cloud partner for the Asia-Pacific region. The company's website provides access to Nvidia GB200 NVL72 and HGX H100 GPUs.

The media reports have pointed out Alice Huang, a key investor in Megaspeed. US intelligence agencies reportedly believe she may have links to Beijing, a claim that China denies. Australia’s spy agency did not comment on the matter.

There are still many questions. Who manages the Australian subsidiary on a daily basis? So far, no one has officially commented on whether an investigation of the company is underway in Australia.
