Chinese Media Watch: After Hsiao Bi-khim’s Europe Trip, State Media Warns Czechia, Bloggers Target DPP “Secessionists” and European “Anti-China Cliques”

As expected, Taiwanese Vice President-Elect Hsiao Bi-Khim’s March 2024 trip to Europe received negative reactions from mainland China, although official responses from Beijing were limited to Hsiao’s meeting with the president of Czechia’s Senate, Miloš Vystrčil.
