Chinese diplomats injured a Taiwanese counterpart during a scuffle in the South Pacific, a senior Taiwanese official said, highlighting tensions over Beijing’s “wolf warrior” diplomacy.
Two uninvited diplomats from the Chinese embassy in Fiji were asked to leave an event celebrating Taiwan’s national day in Suva after they were seen photographing other guests, Taiwan’s Deputy Foreign Minister Harry Tseng told lawmakers in Taipei.
When confronted by Taiwanese officials, the Chinese diplomats initiated a physical confrontation, leaving one staff member from the Taiwanese representative office in Fiji needing hospital treatment for a head injury, Tseng said.
China Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that the allegations had “no facts” and that Taiwan was “playing victim here.”
