Taiwan Strait.com Comprehensive report According to Taiwan's Zhongshi News Network on December 10, 178 Taiwanese aquatic industry operators have been rejected due to the failure to complete the registration of mainland food production enterprises for export and sales, resulting in the Wuzai fish , saury and squid being rejected, with an impact of 6 billion yuan. Tsai Ing-wen posted a message on Facebook on the 9th accusing that the other side of the strait once again raided, hindering Taiwan's aquatic products exports. Such an approach would not help the normal trade between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. In response, a large number of netizens criticized the DPP repeatedly for fighting against "anti-China and Taiwan", and this reaction now makes people question the "double standards".
Tsai Ing-wen posted on Facebook yesterday saying: "Yesterday, mainland China once again raided, hindering the export of Taiwan's aquatic products to the mainland. Such an approach is not helpful to normal cross-strait trade exchanges." She expressed her "serious concern" and initiated response measures as soon as possible. Relevant units are requested to continue to communicate and understand the reasons.
This article quickly poured in 5,000 messages, attracting criticism.
Pharmacist Lin Shifeng left a message: "How could it be a surprise attack? The mainland has not issued regulations very early, requiring all foods exported to the mainland to register." He also mocked Tsai Ing-wen, "Is it stupid or bad?"
Other netizens also left messages and mocked: "Serious concern? The whole paragraph is empty talk. Is it a bit practical? Is the DPP not going to 'anti-China'?", "Anti-China' is more important than the people's livelihood economy. You can not eat or make money, but you must 'anti-China'. It doesn't matter if you starve to death and you are poor!", "While cursing the other party and wanting to sell things to the other party, this logic is difficult to understand", "At this time, you will not 'anti-China', you are good at double standards."

State Affairs Office spokesman Zhu Fenglian said in response to reporters’ questions on December 9 that the so-called mainland reports that the mainland’s suspension of imports of aquatic products such as Taiwanese media have inconsistent with the facts, and the so-called “stern protest” is even more unreasonable.
Zhu Fenglian said that in order to implement the Food Safety Law and its Implementation Regulations and other provisions, General Administration of Customs issued the " Registration and Management Regulations for Overseas Manufacturing Enterprises of Imported Foods in April 2021 (General Administration of Customs Order No. 248), which will be implemented from January 1, 2022. The regulations optimize the registration procedures, implement classified management for different categories of overseas production enterprises, clarify the main responsibilities of the enterprises and the supervision responsibilities of the competent departments in the local area, and are also conducive to ensuring consumers' food safety. The relevant competent departments have informed Taiwan of relevant matters and requirements through existing contact channels, and handled the registration of Taiwan's food production enterprises imported from mainland China in accordance with relevant regulations. Companies that have updated the registration information as required and approved the approval have maintained normal exports to the mainland.
Zhu Fenglian emphasized that the so-called "import is prohibited without warning" is purely deliberate hype. It is understood that the registration information of some Taiwan food companies imported from mainland China is incomplete and does not meet the requirements of the mainland. The relevant competent authorities have not yet registered these companies. This is a normal food safety regulatory measure. We hope that Taiwanese food companies will provide relevant competent authorities with enterprise registration information that meets the requirements as soon as possible. At the same time, we warn the relevant departments on the island to immediately stop any political manipulation and not do anything stupid to harm the island's industry.
