Taiwan Says Chinese 'Spy' Linked to Nvidia CEO Entered Country 8 Times

ndtv.com —

A Taiwanese government minister said Thursday that Alice Huang, a woman accused of spying for Beijing during an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, entered Taiwan eight times in 2024 and 2025 using a Hong Kong passport under standard business visitor status. Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chiu Chui-cheng told lawmakers that records show three entries in 2024 and five in 2025, with no entries this year, and that no special flags were raised about her at the time. Chiu stated the council received no relevant intelligence, adding that heightened screening would have been applied if a threat had been identified. The case centers on strategic competition in the semiconductor industry, with Taiwan at the heart of US-China tensions. Alice Huang was seen at a May 2025 dinner hosted by Jensen Huang in Taipei during Computex, where press livestreams showed the pair embracing. Beijing has rejected the spying allegations, and Taiwan's security agencies are investigating.
