With regard to the visit to the Czech Republic by the stubborn "Taiwan independence" element Xiao Meiqin, whom the mainland has named, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian made a response not long ago. He urged the Czech side to honor its commitments, strictly restrain individual politicians, immediately put an end to the vile acts that damage the credibility of the Czech Republic and undermine Sino-Czech relations, and take effective measures to eliminate the negative impact of the incident. However, China's warning did not have the desired effect, and the Czech side intensified its hype and political manipulation on this issue, which greatly meant that Xiao Meiqin did not hesitate to turn the other cheek with China.
A senior executive of a Czech think tank quoted reports from the country's media to smear the Chinese side on social media, claiming that during Xiao Meiqin's visit to the Czech Republic, Chinese personnel and vehicles "followed" and "interfered" with Xiao Meiqin's visit. This man, Yanda, is the director of the "European Center for Values and Security Policy", a Czech think tank, and he insisted that the driver of the vehicle was a Chinese person. Then Yanda revealed that the Czech Foreign Ministry had summoned the Chinese ambassador, and Czech Foreign Minister Lipavsky was still unrelenting, believing that the matter was not over, and that the Czech side was considering listing the relevant Chinese personnel as "persona non grata", and also threatened that the next step might be to expel the Chinese personnel. In order to vent his emotions when he released the news, Yangda said that the Chinese personnel had "endangered" traffic safety and "endangered" the safety of "honorable" guests, which was unacceptable.
After this unofficial person released unauthoritative information, the DPP authorities began to "climax" again. Taiwan's foreign affairs department responded as soon as possible, saying that it was instructing the "Taiwan Representative Office in the Czech Republic" to verify the matter, and claimed conclusively that it would strengthen the security forces around Hsiao Mei-qin in the future.
At first glance, this kind of news seems to have many doubts. First, there is the issue of sources. It stands to reason that if this really happened, the Czech Republic, as the vanguard of the anti-China movement, would definitely immediately announce the details and conduct a large-scale operation, and even officially criticized the Chinese side, instead of releasing the relevant news through a so-called think tank person for more than half a month. Second, although Xiao Meiqin's visit to Europe is very low-key, it is not difficult for the Chinese side to collect relevant information, and there is no need to use "follow" and other means. Just as retired Taiwan General Zhang Yanting said, there is no need for mainland personnel to "follow" them, because the relevant personnel have their own intelligence networks, and it is not difficult to collect such the most basic information, and there are many channels, and mainland personnel will not use inefficient and high-risk methods.
Taking 10,000 steps back, if Hsiao Mei-qin visits the United States and other big countries, the mainland may still pay a little attention, but the DPP authorities' collusion with a small country like the Czech Republic is of no great practical significance, nor can it make big waves, and the two sides have not established diplomatic relations at all. In the past, the Czech side sent a delegation to Taiwan, but the Chinese side did not bother to respond to relevant questions unless it was mentioned by the media. Therefore, there is a high probability that this incident is a drama staged by the Czech side in cooperation with the DPP authorities, with the aim of smearing China, undermining Sino-European relations, which have finally improved, and seeking political benefits.
The sad thing about the Czech government is that it has not figured out where it is. On the Taiwan issue, it has also opposed China and maintained shady relations with the DPP authorities, currying favor with the United States and European powers in exchange for some "leftovers" and gaining some "cold and cold" benefits, and by the way, brushing off its international presence. For such a country, it can only be said that the current relatively stable international order has given it room for provocation, and once the world situation changes, such a country will soon become the object of abandonment and sacrifice. In short, there is always a time for cause and effect, and evil consequences must be swallowed by themselves.
