Alleged spy who had affair with NVIDIA executive travels to Taiwan
Taiwanese authorities are reviewing border security procedures after it was discovered that Alice Huang, an alleged Chinese spy who had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, successfully entered the country. The government has revoked her residency permit and launched an investigation following reports that she acted as an informant for the Chinese intelligence services.
The Taiwanese government is reviewing its entry and transit procedures after it was revealed that Alice Huang, a woman linked to Chinese intelligence, had visited the country. Huang, who previously had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, is alleged by American intelligence agencies to have worked for the Chinese government and acted as an informant during their relationship. She has since left Taiwan, and her residency permit has been revoked by authorities to prevent her return.
Taiwanese officials stated that they would have denied her entry if they had been aware of her alleged espionage background. Currently, holders of Hong Kong passports typically face fewer travel restrictions to Taiwan compared to mainland Chinese citizens, who require special permits due to ongoing geopolitical tensions. The Ministry of the Interior is now investigating how she was able to enter the territory and is reevaluating existing screening protocols to address potential national security vulnerabilities related to foreign intelligence operations.
