Taiwanese authorities have confirmed that a woman accused of spying for China while allegedly having an affair with Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang visited Taiwan eight times between 2024 and 2025.

Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Minister Chiu Chui-cheng disclosed the information on Thursday while responding to lawmakers’ questions about the movements of Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, who has been linked to allegations of Chinese intelligence activities.

According to Chiu, immigration records show that Alice Huang entered Taiwan three times in 2024 and five times in 2025, with no recorded visits in 2026. He explained that she travelled using a Hong Kong passport and entered under standard business visitor arrangements without attracting any security warnings.

“There were no special flags” concerning her visits at the time, Chiu told lawmakers.

The disclosure follows reports that United States officials had identified Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, as a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.

A New York Times report also claimed that Washington had advised Taiwanese authorities as early as 2024 to monitor her movements.

However, Chiu maintained that his agency had received no such intelligence. The minister insisted that Taiwanese authorities would have imposed stricter entry requirements if credible intelligence had identified Alice Huang as a potential security threat.

“If we had any of the kind of critical intelligence you mentioned, leading us to believe she posed a threat to Taiwanese society, we would have definitely flagged her for heightened review,” he added.

Taiwan’s security agencies are investigating the allegations, while Beijing has denied claims that Alice Huang was involved in espionage.

The controversy has attracted attention because of Nvidia’s position in the global semiconductor industry and Taiwan’s importance to advanced chip manufacturing.

Jensen Huang, who has acknowledged an extramarital affair, has been linked romantically to Alice Huang. The two were seen together at a dinner hosted by the Nvidia founder at a Chinese restaurant in Taipei during the Computex technology exhibition in May 2025.

Livestream footage from the event reportedly showed Huang placing his arm around Alice Huang as she kissed him on the cheek.

The investigation comes as Taiwan remains a major point of strategic competition between Washington and Beijing, with China continuing to claim sovereignty over the self-governed island.
