Taiwan has revoked the entry permit of Alice Huang, a woman accused of spying for China who had an affair with Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang, after confirming that she repeatedly visited the island using a Hong Kong passport.

Taiwan Confirms Alice Huang Used Hong Kong Passport

On Wednesday, Taiwan’s Interior Minister Liu Shyh-fang said that Alice Huang had entered the country but was currently abroad, according to the Taipei Times.

Addressing lawmakers at the Legislative Yuan’s Internal Administration Committee meeting in Taipei, Liu said that Alice Huang "did indeed enter the country, but she is currently overseas."

National Immigration Agency Director-General Lin Horng-en confirmed that she had used a Hong Kong passport to enter Taiwan, adding that authorities had records of all her arrivals and departures.

Hong Kong passport holders generally face fewer entry restrictions than mainland Chinese citizens, who typically require special permission to visit Taiwan.

Liu said Taiwan’s immigration and national security agencies were cooperating in the investigation. She also confirmed that Alice Huang’s entry permit had been revoked.

“As far as we understand, Alice Huang’s permit has been revoked, meaning it is impossible for her to enter Taiwan again,” Liu said.

Taiwan Reviews Immigration Screening Procedures

Taiwanese lawmakers questioned how Alice Huang managed to visit the island repeatedly despite the espionage allegations. At least 10 photographs of her and the Nvidia CEO have reportedly circulated, with most taken in Taiwan.

Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Huang Jie questioned the screening process, citing Alice Huang’s documented visits in June 2024 and May 2025. She also asked how many mainland Chinese citizens enter Taiwan annually on business visas.

Liu acknowledged potential gaps in the system, saying, “If we had known she was a spy, we certainly would not have let her enter Taiwan.”

She added that authorities would review pre-entry screening, random checks, interviews and post-visit procedures.
