Taipei: Chinese agents reportedly had a plan for a 'car collision' targeting Taiwan's Vice President Hsiao during a 2024 trip to the Czech Republic, according to information from Czech intelligence. The revelation has sparked concerns over the safety of international diplomatic visits by Taiwanese officials. According to Focus Taiwan, the alleged plot was part of a broader attempt by Chinese operatives to undermine Taiwan's diplomatic engagements.
