Taiwan revokes entry permit for woman in Nvidia spy case after Hong Kong passport use

malaymail.com —

Taiwan's immigration agency confirmed Monday that Alice Huang, the woman accused of spying for China during an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, entered Taiwan using a Hong Kong passport, and her entry permit has been revoked. National Immigration Agency Director-General Lin Horng-en said authorities were aware of all her entry and exit records, while Interior Minister Liu Shyh-fang stated she is currently overseas and that her permit revocation prevents future entry. The agency is reviewing its pre-screening and post-visit procedures. Hong Kong passport holders face fewer travel restrictions to Taiwan than mainland Chinese passport holders, who require special permission due to tense cross-strait relations. Nvidia's board opened a probe into Jensen Huang on Sunday, while Beijing has rejected the spying allegations.
