According to Taiwanese media reports, Taiwan’s “Committee on Agriculture” commissioned CITIC for social media maintenance and transportation this year to nearly 6 million yuan ( NT$ , the same below). “Chairman of the Committee of Agriculture” Chen Jizhong said that it was because of the need to clarify fake agricultural news. However, the "Committee of Agriculture" has been controversial in recent years, and publicity and marketing often cost tens of millions of yuan. A single activity alone has spent millions of yuan. But is these publicity expenses "large internal publicity" or clarifying false news? What's more, many sources of controversy are probably the "Committee of Agriculture" themselves, and they even spent money to clarify?
Korean Party "Legislator" Li Guimin pointed out that for a long time, the 1450 Internet army of the "Committee on Agriculture" has been criticized. After reviewing the public information on the handling of policies and business promotion related funds of various units, I found that many of the "Committee on Agriculture" budgets are really strange.
Li Guimin is even more explosive. Taking Huasi as an example, the "Committee of Agriculture" has been using money to entrust Huasi to operate social media since last year. This money was paid at least 360,000 yuan per month last year, and the total amount was about 4 million yuan for the whole year; this year it was as high as nearly 500,000 yuan, and the total amount may be nearly 6 million yuan for the whole year, which is quite huge. The previous opening fee is just the operation of social websites, and there are other fees for advertising under , Facebook, , video shooting, etc. to pay for Huashi.
Taking the recent egg shortage in Taiwan as an example, media reported that egg shortages were short of eggs at the end of last year. The "Committee of Agriculture" first said to the outside world that it could alleviate before the Spring Festival. Chen Jizhong also held a press conference to ensure that there is no shortage of eggs during the Spring Festival. Now May is now, and the egg report still produces insufficient eggs. Is it because the "Committee of Agriculture" does not understand the industry, or does it want to embellish the peace with fake news on the imbalance of production and sales?
In addition to eggs, there are imbalances in the production and sales of agricultural products on the island from time to time. The "Agriculture Commission" often spends money to provide purchase subsidies, but Chen Jizhong also boasts that "there is no place in the world as stable as Taiwan's agricultural production."
Also, the "Committee on Agriculture" said that there were no imported pig internal organs, but the official website said that tens of thousands of tons of imported internal organs were imported in a year, and the United States was the largest; as for the Taiwan pig standard, which no one cares about, the "Committee on Agriculture" said that only 100% of Taiwan-produced pigs could be pasted, but later it was discovered that the imported casing was an exception and changed its words; Chen Jizhong also "compared with health foods" in , clenbuterol, , was "alike the health food", and similar cases were not available.
The DPP authorities have nothing to do with promoting policies or clarifying online error messages, but when Chen Jizhong said, "The place with the most fake news in the world is in Taiwan, and the department with the most fake news in Taiwan is in the agricultural department", did he reflect on himself, how many error messages actually come from the DPP authorities themselves? Instead of facing doubts that are different from their policy opinions, they will be considered "fake news, fake information" and even labeled as "harmful to farmers". (Editor: Fang Yanyan)
