Woman Accused of Spying on Nvidia Chief Visited Taiwan Eight Times

A woman accused of spying for Beijing during an affair with Nvidia founder Jensen Huang visited Taiwan eight times across 2024 and 2025. Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chiu Chui-cheng told lawmakers that the woman, Alice Huang, entered the island three times in 2024 and five times in 2025 using a Hong Kong passport.

Details of Entry

Mr. Chiu stated that Alice Huang entered under a standard business visitor status with no special flags raised at the time. He added that the Mainland Affairs Council did not receive any relevant information from the United States advising them to monitor her movements, despite a New York Times report suggesting such advice was given as early as 2024. Cabinet spokeswoman Michelle Lee noted that security agencies are investigating the incident, though no public information is available regarding any suspected criminal offence due to prosecutorial confidentiality.

Public Sightings and Context

Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, was a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed whom U.S. officials believe worked for Chinese intelligence. Public footage showed her at a May 2025 dinner in Taipei during the Computex tech expo, attending alongside Jensen Huang, who has admitted to the extramarital affair.

Context

Taiwan plays a vital role in global technology supply chains as a dominant producer of advanced computer chips. This position makes the island a focal point for international security concerns and strategic competition between major global powers.
