Taiwan's entry records show eight visits by former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang over 2024 and 2025, while security agencies investigate a case that The New York Times tied to U.S. intelligence assessments.
Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chiu Chui-cheng told lawmakers on Nov. 12 that records showed three visits in 2024 and five in 2025, with none in 2026, The Straits Times reported.
Chiu said Huang used a Hong Kong passport and entered as a regular business visitor. He said there were “no special flags” about her at the time.
Chiu said the Mainland Affairs Council had received “no relevant information” about Huang and would have tightened entry scrutiny if it had. He said officials increase checks when an entry raises doubts and can refuse entry if they find security concerns.
Taiwan's government said its security agencies are investigating the matter. Cabinet spokeswoman Michelle Lee said Nov. 12 that no public information was available on whether Huang was suspected of a criminal offense or on investigative steps. Lee said officials could not comment further if an offense was involved because of prosecutorial confidentiality during an ongoing investigation.
The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials assessed Huang was working for Chinese intelligence. The outlet also reported that U.S. officials had advised Taiwan by 2024 to follow her activity.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia's chief executive, has acknowledged an extramarital affair. The New York Times identified Alice Huang as the woman reportedly involved. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun rejected the spying allegation on Nov. 9, calling it “purely unsubstantiated,” according to EconoTimes' earlier coverage.
China claims Taiwan as its territory, while the island is an important semiconductor producer amid strategic competition between Beijing and Washington.
EconoTimes previously reported that Nvidia’s board named investigators as lawmakers questioned Jensen Huang’s contacts.
