A woman accused of spying for China entered Taiwan using a Hong Kong passport, according to Taiwan's National Immigration Agency, as authorities continue investigating the high-profile case linked to Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang.
The case has also prompted an internal investigation by Nvidia, while Taiwanese authorities have announced a review of entry-screening procedures.
Taiwan confirms travel documents
Taiwan's National Immigration Agency confirmed that Alice Huang, who is alleged by US officials to have ties to Chinese intelligence services, entered Taiwan using a Hong Kong passport.
Lin Horng-en, director-general of the agency, said authorities were fully aware of her entry and exit records.
Holders of Hong Kong passports generally face fewer entry restrictions than travellers from mainland China, who require special permits to visit Taiwan.
Nvidia board launches investigation
According to the report, Nvidia's board announced on Sunday that it had opened an investigation involving Jensen Huang, the company's chief executive and co-founder.
Jensen Huang has acknowledged having had a relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive of Singapore-based company Megaspeed.
The report notes that the two are not related.
Taiwan reviewing procedures
Taiwan Interior Minister Liu Shyh-fang confirmed that Alice Huang had entered Taiwan but is currently outside the country.
The minister said authorities would review screening procedures, including pre-arrival checks, inspections during visits and post-visit monitoring.
According to Liu, Huang's entry permit has been revoked, meaning she cannot currently re-enter Taiwan.
National security investigation ongoing
Taiwanese authorities have not disclosed how many times Huang visited the island or the dates of those visits.
Liu said Taiwan's national security agencies are conducting an intensive investigation into the case.
China has rejected allegations that Huang worked for Chinese intelligence services.
Appearance at Taipei technology event
Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, was reportedly seen attending a dinner hosted by Jensen Huang during Computex 2025 in Taipei.
Media footage from the event showed the pair interacting with other guests at a restaurant during the technology exhibition.
