Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator Puma Shen has raised new concerns over pro-CCP harassment. He claimed he has been the target of repeated threats and surveillance by pro-Chinese Communist Party actors.
While speaking in a television interview with host Cheng Hung-yi, Shen described what he called an escalating campaign against him. Someone recently tried to plant a surveillance device near him, he said. Shen also reported that he gave police the license plate number of the suspected individual. Despite that, law enforcement has yet to offer a meaningful update.
In addition to surveillance, Shen revealed he received a death threat. He firmly believes the threat came from pro-CCP harassment networks. Dismissing the danger, according to Shen, is the most unacceptable response. He expressed strong frustration with people who accused him of fabricating the threat.
Kuomintang (KMT) legislator Wang Hung-wei also addressed the situation. She sent a letter to the National Police Agency demanding clarity on the lack of progress. In her letter, she referred to Shen’s earlier claims involving identity theft and continued surveillance.
Blaming government leadership, Wang criticized Interior Minister Liu Shyh-fang and former minister Lin Yu-chang. She argued that both failed to protect Shen and questioned the effectiveness of Taiwan’s national security agencies in these matters.
Responding to Wang’s involvement, Shen accused her of political opportunism. He suggested her comments were not made in good faith. In his view, her actions focused more on gaining attention than on addressing real safety issues.
Previously, Shen claimed someone used his identity to attend a democracy-related conference in Eastern Europe. Authorities from the Investigation Bureau responded by saying he didn’t provide sufficient evidence. That lack of detail made it difficult for investigators to build a case.
Officials also highlighted jurisdictional limits and poor inter-agency coordination. These challenges have stalled any forward movement on the investigation. Meanwhile, Shen continues to criticize authorities for failing to act. His supporters have grown increasingly alarmed by the ongoing pro-CCP harassment he describes.
This case has triggered broader public concern in Taiwan. Many citizens now question whether the government is doing enough to protect political figures from foreign interference. Shen’s experience, if verified, underlines the urgent need for stronger national safeguards.
