A Taiwanese woman, surnamed Li, who was asked to strip for a body search at Palau's customs on July 1, protested at the Taiwanese Foreign Ministry, questioning why despite Taiwan's significant donation to Palau, Taiwanese nationals are still being humiliated. She urged the Foreign Ministry to coordinate with Palau's government to improve customs inspection procedures. Accompanied by New Party spokesperson, You Zhibin, they criticized the Foreign Ministry for not assisting in seeking compensation for Li, highlighting similar cases in the past. The Taiwanese Embassy in Palau suggested the intensified security checks could be a response to a Chinese woman found attempting to smuggle drugs in May. Li emphasized the need for better inspection methods and translation services for English-speaking travelers. You Zhibin called for the government to support Li in seeking compensation, drawing attention to a previous case where a US woman received a substantial settlement after a similar incident.
