Summary
Taiwan's immigration chief said Alice Huang — the woman accused of spying for China during an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang — entered the island using a Hong Kong passport.
Taiwan's interior minister said Huang is now overseas and has had her permit revoked, barring her from re-entering the island.
Officials said Hong Kong passport holders face easier entry than mainland Chinese travelers, who need special permission amid tighter Taiwan security controls.
Taiwan is reviewing pre-screening, spot checks and post-visit measures after Liu said authorities would not have admitted Huang had they known she was a spy.
The case has widened beyond Taiwan: Nvidia's board opened a probe into Jensen Huang on Sunday, while Beijing has rejected the spying allegations.
