On Tuesday, the 27-year-old, surnamed Chang, sent a total of 6 packages to Shulin by abandoning them on the luggage racks inside trains. Each box said the recipient was Xi Jinping. His plan was to later go to the lost-and-found to pick up the packages for free. But the plan came crumbling down after a train driver found the packages and called the police. Let’s hear more. Kelly Wang FTV reporter On the train, nobody finds it strange if there are suitcases or packages on the luggage racks. But this package destined for Xi Jinping quickly set alarms off, especially as the local elections draw near. Su Chien-wei Police officer The Taiwan Railway has filed a fraud complaint. Preliminary investigations indicate the suspect was trying to save on transportation costs. He did not intend to intimidate the public, and he did not have political motives. The case has been referred to the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office. The train conductor handed the suspicious packages to the police, who used a metal detector to check for explosives. But the cardboard boxes contained nothing more than clothes and discarded receipts. The sender, Mr. Chang, says he wrote Xi Jinping on the boxes so that nobody would dare touch them. But it turns out, that was precisely what set off warning bells. Amid the current state of cross-strait ties, and the uptick in China’s repression tactics overseas, national security agencies have gotten involved. They will further investigate whether Mr. Chang has any other motives or connections.
