TAIPEI — An alleged Chinese intelligence operative linked to Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang crossed Taiwan’s borders eight times across two years without triggering a single security alert, a cabinet minister revealed Thursday.
The border gates opened unchecked. Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed accused by United States officials of running operations for Chinese intelligence, entered Taiwan three times in 2024 and five times in 2025, Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chiu Chui-cheng informed lawmakers. Huang, also known as Huang Le, traveled on a Hong Kong passport under ordinary business visitor status, clearing frontier checkpoints while mingling in the upper tiers of the global technology sector.
Chiu faced sharp questioning in parliament regarding why border agencies failed to intercept Huang amid inquiries into whether allied officials had flagged her movements as early as 2024.
"At least we at the Mainland Affairs Council did not receive any relevant information," Chiu told lawmakers. "If we had, we definitely would have stepped up our entry screening and border flow management."
The minister maintained that border control systems received no actionable security warnings during her travel window.
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. For any case where there are doubts, we intensify the level of scrutiny, and if we determine there are security concerns, there is no way we would allow her to enter the country.

Travel manifests reveal zero border entries for Huang this year. Taiwanese authorities have formally barred her from returning to the island.
Part of the alleged operative's travel coincided directly with Taiwan's premier technology showcase.
Cameras caught the pair in May 2025 during Computex in Taipei. Jensen Huang, who helms the American artificial intelligence hardware heavyweight, hosted a private dinner at a local Chinese restaurant. Reporters watched through glass windows as the Nvidia chief mingled with guests alongside Alice Huang, who arrived wearing a pink dress. Livestreams captured Jensen Huang placing his arm around her as she kissed his right cheek.
Jensen Huang subsequently acknowledged having an extramarital affair with the former Megaspeed executive.
Beijing rejected the espionage allegations, dismissing claims that Huang operated on behalf of Chinese intelligence services.
