Taiwanese host Chen Huiwen , who had been terrified many times during the process of connecting with mainland netizens, was timid again.
A few days ago, in a radio program hosted by himself, Chen Huiwen and mainland netizens discussed the topic of "pineapple" that has attracted much attention recently. Mainland netizens told him that Xuwen County, Xuwen County, in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, produces 700,000 tons of pineapples annually, while the entire mainland produces 2 million tons of pineapples annually. Chen Huiwen was quite surprised after hearing this: You have pineapples yourself.

htmlOn February 26, the General Administration of Customs of the Mainland announced that it would suspend the import of pineapples from Taiwan from March 1 to the mainland. This decision made the DPP authorities so angry that they also attracted widespread attention and discussion on the island. htmlOn March 1, Chen Huiwen contacted mainland netizens on this matter and asked "Whether the suspension of imports of Taiwanese pineapples will have an impact on the mainland."A mainland netizen from Jinan, Shandong replied that he had bought Taiwanese fruits, such as Sakyamuni, etc., and he believed that suspending the import of Taiwanese pineapples is a good thing for the mainland. The mainland netizen explained, "There is a county in mainland China called Xuwen County, which produces 700,000 tons of pineapples every year. If it is not imported from Taiwan, it will be beneficial to them (Xuwen County)."
Hearing the data of Xuwen County's annual output of 700,000 tons of pineapples, Chen Huiwen was surprised: "In the same place in mainland China, is there 700,000 tons of pineapples per year?"
Mainland netizens confirmed that Chen Huiwen heard it correctly and said that the entire mainland produces about 2 million tons of pineapples per year.
Chen Huiwen was helpless: "You have pineapples yourself...so if you don't buy Taiwan's, it doesn't matter."
Public information shows that Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, belongs to tropical monsoon climate , with sufficient sunshine. It is the largest pineapple production base in China. It has nearly a hundred years of history of planting pineapples and is known as the "Sea of Pineapples". In 2019, the planting area of Xuwen pineapple reached 252,600 mu, with an output of 626,000 tons, accounting for 36.40% of the national pineapple production and an output value of 3.46 billion yuan.
Xinhua News Agency reported on February 26 that in order to actively promote Xuwen pineapple to enter the sales area market and share sweet fruits with the people of the whole country, the "Xuwen pineapple" high-speed railway special train set off a few days ago.
Southern Rural News reported on February 28 that due to the drought and rainy weather in the early stage of this year's pineapple production, the quality of pineapple is better and the taste is sweeter, so the Xuwen pineapple market is currently hot. A person in charge of a pineapple planting professional cooperative told reporters: "This year, the supply of pineapples is in short supply, and the land price has been sold to 2.6-3 yuan per catty."
The island green-station media "Liberty Times" paid attention to the news of the launch of the mainland's pineapple special train on March 1, and cited the words of an unknown official to discredit the mainland's suspension of imports of Taiwanese pineapples. According to the report, normal agricultural cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, including Taiwanese businessmen growing fruits in the mainland, was also distorted by the Liberty Times as a variety that the mainland has "stealed" by Taiwan research institutions for many years to cultivate.

On the same day, the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council Zhu Fenglian solemnly refuted the so-called "political suppression" statement at a regular press conference: The General Administration of Customs decided to suspend the import of pineapples from Taiwan from March 1, 2021 to the mainland. This is a normal biosafety prevention measure, which is completely reasonable and necessary.
Zhu Fenglian pointed out that customs implement inspection and quarantine on imported agricultural products in accordance with the law is a requirement for implementing relevant laws, regulations and standards, and is also a need to prevent plant epidemic risks and protect people's rights and interests. However, the DPP authorities deliberately distorted it, maliciously interpreting technical issues, and taking the opportunity to attack and smear the mainland. This fully reveals their consistent practice. Malicious manipulation is required for any cross-strait affairs, which means that they have neither the will nor the ability to solve practical problems and can only slander the mainland to avoid their own responsibilities.
Zhu Fenglian emphasized that agricultural product safety issues are closely related to agricultural production, ecological security, food safety and people's rights and interests. We have always attached great importance to it and will continue to take strict measures to control it.
