The FBI recently arrested a Chinese woman at Los Angeles International Airport on suspicion of secretly filming President Lai Ching-te's eldest son Lai Ting and his family living in the United States, and reported it to Chinese officials. The Presidential Office said today that my country expresses its strongest condemnation of such barbaric acts that harm liberal democrats or their families.

In response to the U.S. judicial unit's discovery of China's suspected illegal surveillance of President Lai's family, Guo Yahui said that this is a typical transnational suppression. Our country expresses the strongest condemnation of this kind of barbaric behavior that ignores human rights and the sovereignty of various countries and aims to suppress, threaten, and even harm people who advocate freedom and democracy or their families. Such behavior should not be tolerated in the civilized world.

Kuo Yahui said that she is grateful to the U.S. judicial authorities for their assistance and protection to our people. Taiwan will continue to cooperate with all democratic allies, including the United States, to jointly combat this type of illegal transnational suppression.

CBS News reported that the FBI recently arrested a woman surnamed Zhang at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on suspicion of working for the Chinese government. Zhang and her accomplices rented a car in Seattle to go to Lai Ting's home in September 2025, and recorded the Lai family returning home. They reported to Chinese officials through the Chinese messaging software WeChat, writing "I saw him, he is a young man" and "I am recording" and sent the license plate number. The entire case is still under trial and the defendants are presumed innocent until convicted in court.
