Hello, welcome to listen to the new issue of "Taiwan Weekly Talk", I am Xiaoxiao.
"Food safety" has always been a hot topic that people pay attention to. Recently, the Taiwan authorities have announced "new regulations" to relax the allowable amount of pesticide residues on the island by fruits and vegetables, plants and plants on the island by 20 times in one go. The criticism is for disregarding people's health, which has caused heated discussions among netizens on the island. Another thing has also become the hot topic of discussion on the streets and alleys, and the Taiwan Army will remake "Descendants of the Sun". It is not uncommon to shoot military films and TV series, but in recent years, the Taiwanese military has successively exposed incidents of dog abuse, missed shooting of Xiong San, and collective drug use, which has disappointed the public. Can filming a TV series enhance the image of the Taiwan Army? Netizens bluntly said that they were "too stupid and too naive", and even mocked him for being careful of filming "The Sun's Regret".
Tsai Ing-wen strictly prevents himself from being poisoned but “poisoning” to harm Taiwanese people
North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un’s brother Kim Jong-nam was assassinated by agents last month with a "neurotic agent". The news reached Taiwan, which made the security units of the Tsai Ing-wen administration very nervous. So he asked Tsai Ing-wen's guard to carry antidotes with him in the future to prevent Tsai from being poisoned during contact with handshakes and other activities. If there is a real accident, rescue can be carried out as soon as possible to help Cai save his life. Unexpectedly, the Taiwan authorities, who were strictly guarding the poison attacks and trying hard to protect Tsai Ing-wen, turned around and began to "poison" the Taiwanese people.
Last week, the Taiwan authorities' food and drug management agency announced that it would relax the allowable amount of pesticide residues for a total of 128 agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables, plants, and other agricultural products, including lettuce, from the past, to 10ppm (ppm: part million concentration). The Kuomintang’s civilian Chen Yimin criticized the issue, which was 20 times more relaxed! It's simply disregarding food safety. Lu Yuling, a Kuomintang representative, even criticized that the most important thing to be washed should be what everyone calls "water spinach"! Faced with the continuous explosion of food and drug safety on the island, we can’t help but want to ask, is solving the food safety problem ie raising the residual standards of pesticides?
In the future, in addition to the need for more cleaning time for Taiwanese people to wash vegetables, travelers outside the island who are interested in purchasing Taiwanese tea should also be very cautious and beware of the residual pesticide "Freperi" that was "approved" by the Tsai authorities. Because toxic experts have clearly pointed out that long-term consumption of this drug will cause thyroid tumors and liver tumors.
Chen Yimin said that the commonly used pesticide "Fluopyram" (Fluopyram) has been pointed out in an international journal in 2014 that after animal experiments in small and rats, long-term consumption of this drug will cause thyroid tumors and liver tumors. Now it is mentioned on the island's tea medicine. 6ppm is mentioned, but it cannot be used in Australian and Japanese tea at all. Especially lettuce salad lettuce, "usually, merchants only know how to clean it simply and give it to customers directly, without any care, even without washing it. Is there really no problem eating it every day?" It is recommended that in order to protect yourself, the people should "wash the vegetables for a longer time" in the future.
Let’s compare EU and WTO regulations. The concentration of Fluperry cannot exceed 0.1. Why can the Taiwan authorities achieve 6ppm at a time for a newer pesticide? Tea is an important export item for Taiwan, but tea farmers are not clear about EU regulations. Will it be better to relax and please tea farmers now?
In addition, in terms of the Dimethomorph fungicide commonly used by Taiwanese vegetable farmers, the original pesticide safety tolerance standard stipulates that Damethomorph must not be tested. It was set at 0.5ppm in 2009, and in 2012, Damethomorph was relaxed to 2.5ppm. Now it will be relaxed to 10, a full 20 times. Chen Yimin said that poison expert Lin Jieliang has already said that Damexin can harm the nervous system, long-term intake will cause infertility, resulting in damage to the liver and kidneys. "Dmexin often abuses pesticides that exceed the top standards. Wouldn't you have any doubts when you adjust it to 10?"
Faced with the rumbling artillery fire of the Kuomintang's national representatives, Chen Shizhong, head of the health and welfare department of the Taiwan authorities, responded that all items announced this time have been studied by "experts", but whether they meet international standards may require further investigation.
Can the sentence "need to investigate again" be considered a reply? From the hotly discussed issue of Japan's nuclear disaster food lifting ban not long ago, to the relaxation of the allowable amount of pesticide residues for agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables, plants and other agricultural products, food safety issues on the island are emerging one after another, and one thing breaks out every few days, making the people unable to eat anything or dare not eat anything.But unexpectedly, the solution of the Tsai Ing-wen administration was like this "official accent". As mentioned earlier, the one that should be washed most should be what everyone calls "water spinach"!
The "best choice" of the Taiwan Army is not to film the TV series
Recently, in order to save the image of the Taiwan Army, the defense department of the Taiwan authorities actually planned to spend tens of millions of dollars to film the Taiwanese version of the TV series "Descendants of the Sun".
In recent years, the Taiwan military has always been inseparable from scandals. Incidents such as dog abuse, nude photos, misshooting of chariots, and overturning of war chariots have emerged one after another. Even weapons such as "Apache" and "Super Cobra" that the Taiwan military regards as treasures have become "high-end toys" that actresses and celebrities show off to the outside world. Public opinion on the island lamented that "military discipline and military laws are useless." Since the beginning of this year, Taiwan’s military has exposed scandals such as collective drug use. The latest poll by Taiwanese media shows that only 29% of the people on the island are confident about the ability of the Taiwan military to defend Taiwan, and as many as 66% of the people without confidence. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the Taiwan military is eager to use "selfies" to enhance their image and morale. Can such a magical effect be achieved with just one TV series?
Regarding the Taiwanese military's major action filming of film and television dramas, Taiwanese media reported that the total budget of the entire drama is only the "half-episode" production fee for the Korean version of "Descendants of the Sun". If it is forced to be the Taiwanese version of "Descendants of the Sun", it may attract the industry to laugh at it. On the 20th, the Kuomintang representative Jiang Qichen asked the attending officials whether they had watched "Descendants of the Sun" at a public opinion agency, and only four people raised their hands. He questioned that doing too many formal things like filming dramas will not help the image of the Taiwan Army. Ma Wenjun, a Kuomintang representative, also said that the Taiwan military has a small budget. If it intends to win with the script, it must have enough preparation period. Time is too fast, and I am afraid that more than 10 million yuan will be wasted directly. The defense department should understand that the outside world has doubts about the quality of the Taiwan military, which is mainly caused by a series of military discipline incidents. "Recruiting soldiers cannot be found by TV series, and it is not true that it is better to go in after filming. It only looks better."
The Democratic Progressive Party’s Democratic Progressive Party’s Democratic Progressive Party also worried that the budget was too low, and it may become a “Ju Guang Day” program or turn into “the regret of the sun.” Interestingly, when Zhuang Ruixiong asked Feng Shikuan, is the protagonist of the Korean drama Song Joong Ki handsome? Feng replied: "If you compare yourself with me, you're a little worse than me!" He asked the male god how is Kaneshiro Takeshi ? Feng also replied: "Of course he is not as good as me!" The scene burst into laughter. Feng Shikuan felt that he was too good to be criticized by himself, so he suggested that he think twice before speaking, otherwise what the people say to him in the future will be greatly reduced.
It is reported that this 16-episode Taiwanese military image series, 1 hour each episode, has even thought of the name, and is tentatively determined to be "The Best Choice". The total production fee is NT$12.8 million, with an average of NT$800,000 per episode. It is expected to start filming in April and be officially released in September. As the name suggests, this album seems to be based on "recruiting" soldiers as its main requirement. If so, the Taiwan military has actually shot a lot of recruitment short films over the years, and it is unknown how effective it is. As we all know, the Taiwan military has faced many difficulties in promoting the "recruitment system" in recent years. The key is that it is affected by the overall bad social atmosphere.
Maybe, the defense department of the Taiwan authorities hopes to sweep away the haze through the "serial drama" and show the new atmosphere of the Taiwan military. It is not difficult to understand its good intentions. But if the Taiwan military does not start from the military's main thinking, the education, discipline and training of officers and soldiers, and hopes to reshape the image and reverse the decline by relying on a film, it is inappropriate to give people a sense of losing the foundation and seeking profit.
