TAIPEI/BEIJING—Czech Senate speaker Milos Vystrcil will “pay a heavy price” for making an official trip to Taiwan, the Chinese regime’s top diplomat said on Monday, prompting Prague to summon China’s ambassador to explain comments it said “crossed the line.”

Vystrcil arrived in Taipei on Sunday on a visit to promote business links with Taiwan, and said the Czech Republic would not bow to Beijing’s objections. The Chinese regime considers Taiwan a breakaway province ineligible for state-to-state relations.
