Font size

Alice Huang Le, the woman involved in Huang Rendong's extramarital affair and accused of being involved in Chinese espionage activities, is said to have returned to China.

"Bloomberg" quoted people familiar with the matter on Thursday (12th) as saying that Huang Le is currently living in Beijing and the security department is aware of this. But she said it was unclear when and why she went to Beijing, and what activities she might be engaged in.

Huang Le is a Chinese citizen from Hunan. He studied for a master's degree at Hong Kong Baptist University and later obtained Hong Kong permanent resident status.

According to reports from the New York Times and Financial Times, she served as the managing director of Megaspeed, a Singapore data center company, from March to November 2023, and later called herself CEO. The company, which was spun off from Chinese gaming company Seventh Avenue, purchases large quantities of Huida GPUs and leases computing power to Chinese companies such as Alibaba, which has triggered a U.S. investigation into circumventing export controls.

According to Hong Kong media "Hong Kong 01"'s search in Hong Kong, Singapore and the mainland, Zhonghuangle has registered several Hong Kong companies this year and is also a director of "Nanjing Leading Technology" (T3 Travel). The company submitted a listing application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this year but was rejected.

Entered the United States ten times and Taiwan eight times

A CNN investigation reported that U.S. Customs and Border Protection records showed that Huang Le had entered the United States ten times since 2017. The most recent was in March 2025, when she was photographed at Nvidia's Santa Clara headquarters for the company's annual meeting.

It is unclear how Huang Le met Huang. According to a photo verified by the New York Times, the earliest photo of the two together may have been taken in an Italian restaurant in Singapore in December 2023. Since then, the two have met in Shanghai, Silicon Valley, California golf resorts, and Taiwan.

In May 2025, when Huang Renxun attended COMPUTEX in Taiwan, he was photographed by the media attending a dinner party with Huang Le at the "Sanliu Restaurant", and the two interacted and became intimate.

Huang Le was accused of entering Taiwan multiple times using a Hong Kong passport. Taiwan's Minister of the Interior Liu Shifang said that the Immigration Department has revoked Huang Le's entry and exit permit, and it is impossible to come to Taiwan again.

Qiu Chui, chairman of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, confirmed during an inquiry in the Legislative Yuan that Huang Le had records of entering Taiwan in 2024 and 2025, three times in 2024 and five times in 2025, a total of eight times, but there is no record this year.

He said that Huang Le was suspected of violating Article 9, Paragraph 1, Item 10 of the "Regulations on Entry and Residence and Settlement Permits for Hong Kong and Macao Residents in the Taiwan Area", which "may cause harm to national interests, public security or public interests." If she applies to come to Taiwan again in the future, the authorities will strictly mark her entry and control her entry in accordance with the law; the review of applications from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao to come to Taiwan will also be strengthened in the future.

The New York Times reported that in 2024, the Taiwan government responded to the recommendation of the United States and monitored Huang Le’s whereabouts during his visit to Taiwan.

In response to an inquiry from legislator Zhang Zhilun, Qiu Chuizheng said that the Mainland Affairs Council did not know about this part. If there is important information, it will strengthen the immigration review of people flow management.

Hu Xijin said China "never exclusively uses honey traps"

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied the accusation that Huang Le had engaged in espionage activities, criticizing it as "catching rumors and slandering."

Hu Xijin, the former editor-in-chief of the Global Times, wrote in an article that this incident was an opportunity for the US Democratic Party and the establishment to attack Huang Renxun and then contain Trump. "This is not an ordinary scandal, this is politics." He also pointed out that if the logic of "presumption of guilt" is allowed to spread, normal scientific and technological economic and trade exchanges will be consumed by public opinion, dragging down China, the United States and the global industrial chain.
