Taiwan immigration says woman linked to Nvidia CEO entered on Hong Kong passport

Taiwan's National Immigration Agency said the woman identified as Alice Huang entered the island on a Hong Kong passport, according to a statement on Nov. 11. The agency, which is cooperating with national security units investigating the case, noted that her entry and exit records are on file.

Alice Huang, a former executive of Singapore-based Megaspeed, has been accused by U.S. officials of working for Chinese intelligence and of having an affair with Nvidia co-founder and chief executive Jensen Huang. Nvidia announced on Nov. 8 that it had opened an internal probe into the matter.

"Our government’s relevant agencies are fully informed of the relevant records and information," said Immigration Agency Director-General Lin Horng-en, confirming the passport details.

Taiwan’s interior minister Liu Shyh-fang told lawmakers that Huang is currently overseas and that her travel permit had been revoked, preventing future entry. Liu added that authorities would review pre-screening, spot checks, interviews and post-visit measures.

The case highlights the relative ease with which Hong Kong passport holders can travel to Taiwan compared with holders of mainland Chinese passports, which require special permission due to the complex cross-strait relationship.

Alice Huang was photographed at a dinner during the May 2025 Computex tech expo in Taipei, where she was seen with Jensen Huang. The footage, captured by journalists outside the venue, showed the two interacting at the event.
