Taiwan's government has canceled travel documents for a woman linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang after lawmakers raised fears she may be a Chinese intelligence asset, a case with real national security stakes for Taiwan.

Interior Minister Liu Shih-fang told lawmakers that Huang Le, who has been named in media reports as Jensen Huang's alleged affair partner, did previously enter Taiwan but is now outside the country. Her documents have been revoked, so she will not be allowed back in.

Lawmakers pressed the government hard on this. One legislator said Huang Le's parent company in Singapore may have indirect links to Beijing, which is why US media raised spy suspicions, and noted intelligence suggests she has entered Taiwan several times since 2024. Photos circulating show her with Jensen Huang across different seasons, mostly taken in Taiwan, raising worries about a security gap. A separate lawmaker pointed out she is a Chinese national and asked how she managed to enter in the first place, including trips reported in June 2024 and May 2025.

The minister admitted that if officials had known she was a spy, they would never have let her in, and promised to review entry screening, in-country monitoring, and after-the-fact penalties. Immigration officials added that Chinese nationals filed about 410,000 stay applications this year through September, including over 60,000 business visas, and pledged tighter coordination with national security agencies going forward.

Outlook: Expect closer scrutiny of Chinese business-visa entrants and possible policy changes to Taiwan's screening process as the investigation into this case continues.
