Taiwan confirms Hong Kong passport used by woman in Nvidia spy case

economictimes.indiatimes.com —

A woman accused of spying for China during an affair with Nvidia chief Jensen Huang entered Taiwan using a Hong Kong passport, the island's immigration agency confirmed Wednesday amid an ongoing investigation. National Immigration Agency Director-General Lin Horng-en confirmed Alice Huang's entry method, stating authorities were fully aware of her entry and exit records. Taiwan's Interior Minister Liu Shyh-fang said Huang is currently overseas and her permit has been revoked, preventing future entry. Hong Kong passport holders face fewer travel restrictions to Taiwan than mainland Chinese passport holders, who require special permission. Nvidia's board opened a probe into Jensen Huang on Sunday, while Beijing has rejected the spying allegations.
