Comprehensive reports from Hong Kong China Review News Agency, Taiwan China Times News Network and other media, Li Yingjie, director of the Taipei Office of the "Asian Association in Taiwan (AIT)" visited the Taichung City government yesterday to visit the Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan of the Kuomintang, and Lu Xiuyan expressed his opposition to relaxing the import of pork containing ractopamine. Afterwards, "AIT" issued a statement saying that politicians spread false information, causing unfounded anxiety, and it is not beneficial to everyone.
Li Yingjie
Lu Xiuyan rejected Lai Pig in person. "AIT" officials were stunned.
. According to reports, Li Yingjie led a delegation to the Taichung Municipal Government for exchanges at noon yesterday and met with the mayor of the Kuomintang Lu Xiuyan. After the two sides exchanged greetings, Lu suddenly mentioned in his welcome speech that Taiwanese people were suspicious of the import of American Lai Pigs and expressed their opposition to Lai Pigs, which caused the officials at the "AIT" to stir up and whispered to the city government staff. At the same time, the "AIT" personnel who understand Chinese also rushed to Li Yingjie to convey Lu's statement, while Li Ze stared at the information in his hand and kept silent.
The media on site were then invited to clear the scene, and it was impossible to know how Li Yingjie responded. The media was surprised that the entire event was made public, but there was a temporary change.
"AIT" issued a statement to fight back
"AIT" spokesman Amanda Mansour claimed that all products exported by the United States to Taiwan and other trading partners are safe; these products follow the highest and evidence-compliant standards and are the same as domestic consumption standards in the United States. Because the safety of food sold to all over the world in the United States is unquestionable, American food is so popular in Taiwan.
Meng Yuhe said that when politicians spread false information among Taiwanese consumers and trigger unfounded anxiety, it will be of no benefit to everyone. The US side calls on all sectors to maintain a responsible attitude and based on science when responding to related issues.
Meng Yuhe said that the United States and Taiwan are "good partners" committed to maintaining food safety and food security. The US believes that the "solid trade relations" between the United States and Taiwan will continue to be an important force in maintaining security and that both sides can benefit from it.
Lu Xiuyan has gained a lot of positive voice
Lu Xiuyan expressed her opposition to Li Yingjie in person on the 16th, which not only shocked the "AIT" officials, but also gained a lot of positive voice . Lu Xiuyan recently was shot by DPP members by guns and bombarded by DPP MPs due to the Taichung MRT axle breaking incident, which has impacted her political reputation. Now she has taken the opportunity to show her anti-Raishou attitude to the US "representatives to Taiwan" and faced the green camp's controversial policies directly to reverse her political disadvantages.
The report said that the green camp people in Taichung have been bored for a long time. Because Lu Xiuyan took office and did not have major flaws in the policy, he has repeatedly benefited from the controversial policies of the Tsai administration, including the one-sided announcement that the "Taichung City Public and Private Places Control of Raw Coal and Banning Petroleum Coal Autonomous Regulations" were invalid, the opening of American pig imports in January next year, and the Tsai administration's opposition to local liquor zero detection regulations, etc., all of which allowed Lu Xiuyan to leverage his strength in the policy, highlighting the ruling flaws of the DPP authorities. In particular, the pig policy is a topic that green camp people are avoiding.
Just as the DPP MP seized the opportunity to bombard the lack of Taichung MRT, Lu Xiuyan chose to face the most vulnerable Lai Pig import policy against the green camp, which was the weakest Lai Pig import policy, and even set a record of Blue Camp, politicians. Under the media's lens, she publicly opposed Lai Pig imports to the US "representative to Taiwan". Not only did she once again demonstrate her determination to fight Lai Pig, but she also gained a lot of positive voices. At the same time, the DPP's recent criticism policy has come to the eyes of Taichung citizens and successfully turned into defense to offense.
