TAIPEI: The woman accused of spying for Beijing while having an affair with Nvidia founder Jensen Huang visited Taiwan eight times in 2024 and 2025, a Taiwanese government minister said on Thursday.
Taiwan, a dominant player in the global semiconductor industry, sits at the centre of strategic competition between the United States and China, which claims the self-governed island as part of its territory.
Jensen Huang, chief executive of US-based chip giant Nvidia, has admitted to having an extramarital affair, reportedly with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed who US officials believe was working for Chinese intelligence.
Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, used a Hong Kong passport to enter Taiwan “under a standard business visitor status”, with “no special flags” raised at the time, Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Minister Chiu Chui-cheng told lawmakers.
