Taiwan’s vice-president undeterred after Czech reports of alleged Chinese car collision plot

Czech intelligence revealed Chinese diplomats allegedly planned staged incident during Hsiao Bi-khim’s 2024 visit to Prague

Taiwan’s vice-president has said she will not be intimidated after reports by Czech intelligence that Chinese officials planned to stage a car collision when she was in Prague last year.

Hsiao Bi-khim visited the Czech Republic in March 2024, in the first overseas visit by her and president Lai Ching-te after winning the election in January. It was reported at the time that a Chinese diplomat had run a red light while following her car – under police escort – from the airport.
