A Taiwanese government official confirmed that Alice Huang, the woman accused of acting as a Chinese intelligence asset during an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, visited the island eight times between 2024 and 2025. Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chiu Chui-cheng revealed that Huang entered the country using a Hong Kong passport under standard business travel protocols. Despite reports suggesting that U.S. officials had warned Taiwan about her activities as early as 2024, Chiu maintained that his agency never received any intelligence that would have warranted denying her entry or flagging her for enhanced security screening.

The controversy has intensified scrutiny over how such a high-profile individual moved through the island’s borders unnoticed, especially given Taiwan’s pivotal role in the global semiconductor market. While the government has launched an investigation into the matter, officials remain tight-lipped regarding potential criminal charges, citing the confidentiality of ongoing probes. The affair gained public attention after footage surfaced of the pair at a May 2025 dinner event during the Computex tech expo, highlighting the intersection of high-stakes corporate leadership and international geopolitical tensions.
