The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) yesterday condemned Chinese who have been harassing a

Taiwanese restaurant in Chile that reportedly had shown support for the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.

The ministry condemned and denounced the irrational and violent behavior of a Chinese mob that stormed the shop last week, spokeswoman Joanne Ou (歐江安) said.

The Representative Office of Taiwan in Santiago contacted the Taiwanese owner of Pollo Chang, surnamed Chang (張), on Friday after learning of the incident to express the government’s determination to protect the safety of its nationals overseas, she said.

The office would work with Chang should he decide to report the incident to the Chilean police and offer legal assistance should he need any, she said.    [FULL  STORY]
