Czech intelligence services have uncovered a chilling plot by Chinese diplomats – an intended accident involving Taiwan's Vice President, Hsiao Bi-khim, during her visit to Prague.
Before she stepped into the political limelight, Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim, alongside the then-President Lai Ching-te, embarked on their first foreign journey post-election in January 2024, to the Czech capital, Prague. Despite most nations adhering to the same diplomatic policy with Taiwan, the Czech Republic maintains cordial ties with Taiwan's government, although official relations are absent due to potential consequences with China[6].
Last year, coverage emerged of an incident involving a Chinese diplomat in Prague who exhibited reckless driving, risking a collision with Vice President Hsiao while tailing her vehicle with a police escort en route from the airport. However, these conspicuous antics were, allegedly, mere facets of a broader strategic operation, as the Czech military intelligence service has since disclosed[1][2].
Jan Pejšek, the spokesman for the Czech military intelligence service, reported that Chinese diplomats tried to hound Vice President Hsiao, gather intel on her itinerary, and catalog her encounters with prominent Czech political and public figures. Furthermore, the intelligence service disclosed an attempt by the Chinese internal security to create circumstances that couldlead to a provocative altercation, in this case, a collision with Hsiao's vehicle. Regrettably, this plan remained confined to the preparatory stages[1][2].
Pejšek indicated that these unlawful activities, which were in direct contravention of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, were perpetrated by individuals holding diplomatic posts at China's embassy in Prague[3]. The Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan, denounced the Chinese actions, demanding an apology, and explanation[3]. In response, the Chinese Foreign Ministry denied the accusations, affirming that Chinese diplomats always respect local laws and regulations[3]. However, the Czech government was criticized for meddling in China's internal affairs by facilitating Hsiao's visit[3].
In summary, the Czech intelligence service unveiled China's diabolical plan to target Taiwan's Vice President with an intended car collision during her visit to Prague. While the plan never materialized, Chinese agents were accused of surveilling Hsiao's movements and attempting to document her meetings with prominent figures in the Czech Republic[1][2][3].
