Taiwan Bars Alice Huang From Returning as Authorities Review Her Visits

Taiwan has revoked Alice Huang’s entry permit, preventing the former Megaspeed executive from returning to the island, according to statements reported by Agence France-Presse. Taiwanese Interior Minister Liu Shyh-fang confirmed the decision, while officials said Huang is currently overseas. Authorities say Huang, who also goes by Huang Le, entered Taiwan using a Hong Kong passport. National Immigration Agency director-general Lin Horng-en told officials that records show visits to the island. Taiwanese lawmakers have raised questions about how she was able to travel there for business, including trips in June 2024 and May 2025. During a parliamentary session, lawmaker Huang Jie questioned whether the visits pointed to gaps in national security screening. Liu said the government would review procedures covering checks before entry, monitoring during visits and follow-up measures. She added that Taiwan’s immigration and interior authorities would work with national security agencies if further inquiries were needed. The permit decision comes amid allegations concerning Huang’s activities. U.S. officials reportedly suspect she worked for Chinese intelligence, while Beijing has denied the espionage claims. The article also reports that Huang was linked to Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang in an alleged affair; Jensen Huang has acknowledged having an extramarital relationship. Taiwanese national security agencies are investigating the matter, Liu said. The allegations remain disputed, and officials have not publicly detailed the basis for the entry-permit revocation beyond confirming the decision and describing a review of screening procedures.
