Huida CEO Huang Renxun has recently been involved in an extramarital affair, and his mistress Alice Huang has also been investigated by the US government on suspicion of being a Chinese spy, which has shocked the international political, economic and technological circles. In this regard, my country's Executive President Zhuo Rongtai was asked on Tuesday (10th) whether the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) had requested the Taiwan government to assist in the investigation of this case. Zhuo Rongtai did not confirm or deny it.
Huang Le once worked for companies related to the Chinese government media and the Huida Customer and Data Center. Due to his special background, the United States questioned his possible status as a Chinese intelligence officer, and investigated his relationship and past interactions with Huang Renxun. In recent days, he has become the focus of international public opinion. It has also been discovered by many foreign media that the two people have been together in Taiwan many times, and even had trysts.
"Can't say yes or no"
According to comprehensive media reports, Zhuo Rongtai was also asked about the case when he went to the Legislative Yuan for inquiries on the 10th. He said that it was not convenient to comment on Huang Jen-Hsun's personal life, but the government has long been concerned about the commercial and national interests related to Taiwan's high-tech and sensitive industries. Our country has clear regulations in export control and trade laws and other regulations. Any behavior involving national security or industrial interests will be strictly handled by the government in accordance with relevant legal mechanisms. The United States is investigating the background and entry record of the woman involved in the case. Zhuo Rongtai emphasized that my country will continue to understand the situation and provide the data it has to all parties to help clarify the facts.
When a Kuomintang legislator asked whether AIT had asked the Taiwan government to assist in the investigation of Huang Renxun's case, Zhuo Rongtai directly replied, "There is no way to answer this. We can't say yes or no."
