Jensen Huang, chief executive of the 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, who is also known as Huang Le, used a Hong Kong passport to enter Taiwan "under a standard business visitor status" and there were "no special flags" about her at the time, Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Minister Chiu Chui-cheng told lawmakers.

Chiu made the remarks in Taiwan's parliament in response to lawmakers' questions about Alice Huang's entries into Taiwan and a New York Times report that the United States had advised Taiwan as early as 2024 to monitor her movements.

"At least we at the Mainland Affairs Council did not receive any relevant information," Chiu said.

"If we had, we definitely would have stepped up our entry screening and border flow management."

Chiu said records show that Alice Huang visited Taiwan three times in 2024 and five times in 2025. The records do not show any entries for this year, he said.
