China ‘planned car collision’ during Taiwan vice-president’s visit to Prague

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

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 Taiwan's 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.
