Chinese woman accused of spying on Nvidia boss entered Taiwan on Hong Kong

Taiwan's immigration authorities revealed on Wednesday that a Chinese woman, accused of espionage while involved with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, utilized a Hong Kong passport to gain entry into the country. The National Immigration Agency's director-general, Lin Horng-en, confirmed Alice Huang's use of a Hong Kong passport during her arrival in Taiwan.

Jensen Huang, the co-founder and CEO of Nvidia, has confessed to an affair, which is believed to have been with Alice Huang, a former executive from Singapore's Megaspeed. US officials suspect Alice Huang was working for Chinese intelligence. However, Beijing has dismissed these spying allegations.

In response to the allegations, Nvidia's board announced on Sunday that they would initiate an investigation into Jensen Huang, the company's top executive and co-founder. It is worth noting that the process of entering Taiwan is generally more straightforward for Hong Kong passport holders compared to those with mainland Chinese passports, as the latter must obtain special permission to travel to the island.
