Surprised to see Chinese President Xi Jinping’s package on a Taiwan Railway train? A passenger discovered that when the Taiwan Railways Taroko Line 217 was passing through Luodong Station, it was reported that a boy placed the package in the luggage rack and left. The passenger suspected that it was a dangerous item. After receiving the notification, the railway police took the carton off the train and found that the contents were discarded items.

According to the "Three Railway Information Agency: Accident Reporting and Railway Incident Sharing", a Japanese passenger on the Taiwan Railways Taroko Line 217 reported today that a boy of about 8 years old took two boxes of packages from outside the train at Luodong Station, placed them in the luggage rack No. 41 of Car 6, and then got off the train and left. The package had "Xi Jinping" written on it. The passenger suspected that it was a dangerous item and was taken off the train by the Nangang Road Police.

According to an internal report from the Taiwan Railways, the Taroko train captain of this class was first notified by customer service personnel that a passenger had found a suspicious sealed cardboard box with a picture of Xi Jinping printed on it. According to witness statements, someone got on the train at Luodong Station, placed the box and then left. After notifying the Nangang Railway Police, the box was taken off the train for processing, and the train departed on time. After confirmation by the railway police, they found two cardboard boxes filled with discarded items. There was no picture of Xi Jinping on them, but Xi Jinping was written on the box as the recipient.
