Alice Huang, a mainland Chinese woman whom US authorities accuse of spying for Beijing during an affair with Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, entered Taiwan eight times in 2024 and 2025.
Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chiu Chui-cheng disclosed the information to the Legislative Yuan’s Internal Administration Committee on Thursday (12 November), according to reports by United Daily News, PTS News and other Taiwanese media. Chiu said Alice Huang entered Taiwan five times in 2025 and three times in 2024. There is no record of her entering Taiwan this year.
Chiu also confirmed that Alice Huang had travelled to Taiwan for business as a Hong Kong resident. He said that now that the Taiwanese authorities knew her identity, they would flag her as potentially posing a threat to Taiwan’s interests, public safety or public order under the regulations governing residence and settlement permits for Hong Kong and Macau residents, and restrict her entry in accordance with the law.
Separately, Taiwan’s Executive Yuan said on Thursday that Taiwan was cooperating with the US in investigating the Alice Huang case. Executive Yuan spokesperson Michelle Lee said it was not possible to provide further information on the case at present because it involved a cross-border joint investigation.
Lee said there was currently no publicly available information on whether the case involved suspected criminal activity or on the relevant investigative procedures. If criminal activity was involved, the relevant information would also be subject to rules on the confidentiality of investigations.
In May last year, Alice Huang attended a dinner hosted by Jensen Huang at a Chinese restaurant in Taipei during the Computex trade show. Video filmed at the scene showed Jensen Huang interacting with a woman in a pink dress, identified as Alice Huang, and other guests. Jensen Huang could be seen with his arm around Alice Huang’s shoulders as she kissed his right cheek.
