Taiwan's Ministry of the Interior: "National security authorities are investigating"
Nvidia board also launches independent probe
Taiwanese national security authorities are investigating allegations that Alice Huang, who had interacted with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, was linked to Chinese intelligence agencies. After local media reported that the two had met several times in Taiwan, Taiwanese authorities confirmed that an investigation was underway.
According to Taiwan’s United Daily News and other outlets on November 10, Interior Minister Liu Shih-fang told reporters at the Legislative Yuan that day, “The national security authorities are actively investigating, and the Ministry of the Interior is cooperating.” She did not disclose the specific scope of the investigation.
The New York Times (NYT) previously reported that U.S. intelligence agencies had concluded Alice Huang, a former executive at Singaporean data center company Megaspeed, had collected information for China. United Daily News reported that it had taken footage of the two talking at a restaurant in Taipei when Jensen Huang visited Taiwan in May 2025. China’s Foreign Ministry dismissed the allegations that she was linked to intelligence agencies.
Taiwan Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Chen Ming-chi said Alice Huang had complied with entry regulations but did not disclose the capacity in which she entered Taiwan. Chen said the Taiwanese government was taking the necessary precautionary measures.
