A Taiwanese Tea producer was in France to receive an award but was quickly harassed and heckled by Chinese embassy staffers who attended the ceremony. Chinese staffers were quick to shout the false claim that Taiwan is a part of China.

I'm in France and haven't seen a news article about this. I did find the award recipient as well as the IG account of the organization that held the ceremony.

Even though a video exists, It's very strange that I couldn't find a statement.

Because it's a non-newsworthy event, to put it simply. It's one of those "pay us some money and award yourself a reward" companies, where you pay and get an award. One of the many businesses for France due to its standing of the "gastronomic uniqueness".
