Taiwan revoked the former Megaspeed executive’s permit on 11 November after she had visited several times; its immigration agency says it has restricted her entry.
Taiwan revoked Alice Huang’s entry permit on 11 November, preventing her return, Fortune said. Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, had previously visited Taiwan several times using a Hong Kong passport.
Taiwan’s National Immigration Agency said it had revoked her permit and restricted her entry. Interior Minister Liu Shyh-fang also confirmed the restriction and said Huang was outside Taiwan.
On 29 October, The New York Times said US intelligence officials believed Alice Huang was passing information to Beijing. China denies she is a spy. Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s founder, acknowledged an extramarital affair on 8 November.
Fortune reported that Nvidia’s relationship with Megaspeed came under scrutiny following media reports about Alice Huang’s relationship with Jensen Huang.
Nvidia announced an independent investigation and said it had “no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised.” Fortune said several media reports had alleged that Megaspeed helped Chinese companies obtain Nvidia superintelligence (SI) processors, potentially in violation of US export controls. Megaspeed denies involvement in chip smuggling.
Taiwan’s Executive Yuan said the case involved a cross-border cooperative investigation and declined to give further details. Its spokesperson said there was no public information about whether criminal conduct was suspected or about investigative procedures.
The Interior Ministry said it would review screening before entry, checks during visits and subsequent enforcement. The Executive Yuan’s spokesperson said that, in general, verified espionage or activity inconsistent with a visitor’s permitted purpose would trigger permit revocation and a national security investigation.
The restrictions take effect on 16 November 2026 and also cover other sports professionals. The International Skating Union is assessing their implications for events in Finland, including the world figure skating championships.
