Tsai Ing-wen (Taiwan media)
Overseas Network, February 14th htmlOn the evening of 413, Tsai Ing-wen reposted statistics from the "Committee of Agriculture" on Facebook, saying that last year, Taiwan's agricultural products exported to the mainland broke three records, of which the amount exported to the mainland reached US$1.25 billion, an increase of 25.2%. The exported agricultural products hit a 20-year high. She did not forget to boast that "good results are not slogans." However, she was slapped in the face by netizens on the island, "I don't know the suffering of the people, so I just say nothing." "If Tsai Ing-wen doesn't step down, the farmers will not be well."
According to Taiwan's " Zhongshi Electronic News ", Tsai Ing-wen said that she had a cold these days and ate a lot of fruits to supplement vitamins. She happened to hear the good news from the report of the "Agriculture Commission". The total export amount of agricultural products in Taiwan exceeded US$5.4 billion last year, a 20-year high. Agricultural products sold to mainland China increased by 23.2% compared with the previous year, reaching US$1.26 billion, also breaking the record. Not only mainland China, Tsai Ing-wen also said that the island's exports to Japan, Hong Kong, and even the Middle East have also achieved good results. Since Kaohsiung mayor Han Kuo-yu once shouted "The goods are sent out, and people come in", Tsai Ing-wen's words were interpreted by Taiwanese media as "I am sorry for Han Kuo-yu."
Although Tsai Ing-wen mentioned that the achievements came from "the Taiwan authorities and the people worked together", she wrote a lot about the contributions of the Taiwan authorities and praised the "Committee on Agriculture" for the three "important things" done by the "Committee on Agriculture": First, help advertise, and make Taiwan's agricultural products more famous through publicity and marketing and brand guidance; second, help improve quality and technology, and cooperate with the "Industrial Research Institute" to upgrade cold chain technology to ensure export quality; third, help develop diversified markets and sell Taiwanese agricultural products to the world.
But nothing unexpected happened. Tsai Ing-wen's words were frantically criticized by the people on the island. A message said, "Does she have fewer slogans in her literary youth? What kind of labor is the softest part of her heart? It seems so ironic now." "The cold numbers cannot soothe farmers' bloody hearts. Good results depend on whether farmers make money!"
Some netizens said bluntly, "Tsai Ing-wen doesn't know the sufferings of the people, so they just say nothing." "If Tsai Ing-wen doesn't step down, the farmers won't be well."
Last year, Taiwanese farmers with a bumper harvest of fruits could not feel the sweetness in their mouths. The price of fruits was generally "collapsed", and exports were once hindered. Chen Zhongjie, who runs a pineapple cargo yard in Tainan, lamented at the time, "One pineapple has dropped to about 10 yuan ( New Taiwan Dollar ), and can only be exchanged for one tea egg!" Many fruit farmers urged the Taiwan authorities to agree with the " 1992 Consensus " and called on "Southern people to wake up and not be deceived by the DPP again."
In response, many places in the mainland extended a helping hand, promising to purchase Taiwanese fruits, and strongly supported the farmers on the island. Mainland Wuxi and Xiamen promised to purchase unsold pineapples in Taiwan, and purchased a large number of pineapples at a friendly price higher than the average purchase price in Taiwan Province, helping Taiwanese fruit farmers solve their urgent needs.
But the mainland's good deeds failed to exchange for the goodwill of the Taiwan authorities. Some green camp elements also took the opportunity to maliciously speculate that the mainland's approach is to "unified front". Some people in the green camp said that the reason why they can enjoy the enthusiasm of the mainland is due to the DPP authorities, because it is the DPP that keeps a distance from the mainland that has attracted the mainland to "win over" even more regardless of costs. Of course, with the DPP's defeat in the "nine-in-one" election, these remarks are self-defeating. (Overseas Network/Zhu Xiao)
