Taiwan Investigates Entries of Woman Accused of Spying on Nvidia Chief

Taiwanese authorities have confirmed that a woman accused of working for Chinese intelligence entered the island multiple times using a Hong Kong passport. The individual, identified as Alice Huang or Huang Le, has been linked in reports to an extramarital affair with Nvidia co-founder and chief executive Jensen Huang. US officials believe she was working for Chinese intelligence, though Beijing has rejected the spying allegations. Nvidia's board announced it opened a probe into the CEO.

Travel Records and Official Responses

According to Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chiu Chui-cheng, travel logs show Alice Huang visited Taiwan three times in 2024 and five times in 2025, entering under standard business visitor status with no special flags. Chiu stated that the council did not receive prior intelligence from the United States advising them to monitor her movements, adding that heightened screening would have been applied had such threats been flagged. National Immigration Agency Director-General Lin Horng-en confirmed the use of a Hong Kong passport, which facilitates easier entry compared to mainland Chinese travel documents.

Current Status and Security Reviews

Taiwan's Interior Minister Liu Shyh-fang stated that Alice Huang is currently overseas and that her permit has been revoked, making re-entry impossible. Liu told lawmakers that national security units are actively investigating the matter and that the government will review pre-screening, spot checks, and post-visit measures. Public sightings of the pair include a May 2025 dinner in Taipei during the Computex tech expo, where livestreams captured them mingling and interacting at a Chinese restaurant.
