On June 24, 2024, Taiwanese Lien Fang announced her candidacy for Tokyo Governor and shockingly received a faxed death threat stating 'stab you with a knife'. Amid the competitive Tokyo Governor election, incumbent Yuriko Koike is vying for reelection, with opponents including Taiwanese former senator Lien Fang. The threatening fax warned of stabbing Lien Fang, detonating a bomb on June 24, and attacking members of her party, the Constitutional Democratic Party. Lien's team denounced these acts as a challenge to democratic values, ensured safety measures, and the police are investigating the matter for potential charges of intimidation.
