Taiwan is currently reeling from a scandal in which an agent in the president’s security team was found to have smuggled cartons upon cartons of cigarettes while accompanying the leader on a foreign diplomatic visit.
The island’s customs authorities arrested Wu Tsung-hsien, National Security Bureau Major Guardian, on July 22 as he and the security team were escorting President Tsai Ing-wen out of the Taoyuan airport upon her return from a 12-day trip to visit Carribean allies.
