On June 10, the General Administration of Customs issued a notice stating that malachite green and crystal eucoplasma banned drugs were detected from grouper imported from Taiwan many times, and terremorycin was also detected to exceed the standard.

[Huaxia Jingwei Comprehensive Report] After banning the sale of Taiwan pineapple , Wax fog and Saga , Taiwan grouper is also completely banned from importing due to drug residues. On June 10, the General Administration of Customs of Customs issued a notice stating that malachite green and crystal eucoplasma banned drugs were detected from grouper imported from Taiwan many times, and oleracycin exceeded the standard. In order to prevent risks and protect consumers' physical health and life safety, customs are required to suspend the import of Taiwanese grouper from the mainland starting from June 13 in accordance with relevant laws, regulations and standards in mainland China.

According to Taiwanese media reports, Taiwan exported grouper to the mainland in recent years accounted for more than 90% of the overall exports, but in recent years, the epidemic consumption has caused a decline in grouper production, and the exact impact remains to be evaluated.

Faced with the ban, Taiwan’s “Agriculture Commission” urgently convened a video response, saying that it would refute the mainland’s failure to follow international norms and should not be unilaterally prohibited. It also stated that it will provide scientific evidence through the two-party agreement platform in the near future and demand that the ban be lifted. If there is no positive response, it is not ruled out that the appeal to World Trade Organization (WTO) is not ruled out.

The Tsai administration's "bitter" action was boasted by many netizens on the island, believing that they should first check themselves, and even left a message saying that the Taiwan military and "817" are going to spend money again.

Who is the culprit of the ban on Taiwanese grouper?

Kuomintang Tainan Mayor candidate Xie Longjie said that the mainland has temporarily closed the channel market because the banned drugs were tested, which was not prohibited for no reason, and it was just a suspension of imports. Why didn’t the Tsai administration look for it and it was not a matter of time before it was suspended? Is there any control over the dosage of Taiwan

Bay? Is the drug discontinuation period implemented?

Xie Long complained that the agricultural government units always put the cart before the horse. They always open up the market for internal and external propaganda, but whether it has any effect, the fishermen on the front line know the best. Every time they talk and report, there will be no follow-up. The fishermen are the ones who suffer the most.

Xie Longjie pointed out that the Taiwan authorities should further negotiate with the mainland and at the same time advise farmers to avoid the problem of banning medicines. This is the fundamental way to solve the problem, rather than always provoking cross-strait relations when problems occur. The subsidies of the "Committee of Agriculture" are not really used for farmers, but are not given in words.

The mainland has long-term concessions, has Taiwan been spoiled?

Professor Lei Lifen of the Department of Agricultural Economics of Taiwan University said that the mainland has long concessions to Taiwan and has produced dazzling export results, which will make the public think that "the agricultural capacity is sold in the mainland because Taiwan's agricultural physique is quite strong", which has led to insufficient rigorous management of agricultural products in the long run. Scholars directly stated that if they have this mentality to open up other markets, there will be problems wherever they go.

Taiwan grouper sales are mainly based on the mainland market. When the live fish transport ships were opened directly to the mainland, the number of foreign sales increased significantly, and the shipping time was reduced, which was conducive to maintaining quality; grouper was included in the " Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement " (ECFA) and was exempted from tariffs after early collection list, production and sales costs were reduced, and industrial competitiveness was improved.

Lei Lifen said in an interview with Taiwan media that the long-term concessions in mainland China have led to Taiwan being spoiled, which makes the public feel that Taiwan’s agricultural products are selling well and Taiwan’s agriculture is very strong. The mainland has now tightened its network and agricultural products are beginning to be unable to enter. It shows that the Taiwan authorities are not so rigorous in the quality control of agricultural products for mainland China. This mentality of not having self-demand to the best will affect the development of other target markets, such as selling Japanese black-hearted pineapples.

Lei Lifen said, "It may be okay to love Taiwan pineapple and Taiwan Sakyamuni once and twice, but it is difficult for the people to raise the trend of 'love Taiwan grouper' again; when nationalism cannot be hyped up, it is probably the last statement of 'suppression of the other side'."

Taiwan media: Waving the banner of "anti-China" has caused tragic harm to farmers and fishermen

Mainland announced the suspension of Taiwan grouper imports from the 13th. The Tsai authorities expressed strong condemnation and expressed their strong condemnation and expressed their willingness to assist fishermen in exporting.Last year, the output value of live grouper fish sold to mainland China reached US$54.786 million, accounting for 92% of the total live fish. Nowadays, the interests of Taiwanese farmers are damaged, the DPP loudly condemns but is unable to reverse the dilemma. The cross-strait struggle will be hurt, and the people will bear the price.

Taiwan's China Times published a comment pointing out that what is even more worrying is that whether it is pineapple , sakya, wax fog, or grouper, it seems that the same script is staged. The mainland first warned on the grounds of "poor quality control", and Taiwan had no good tone to respond. The cross-strait communication ended in failure, which eventually led to a suspension of imports, and Taiwanese farmers and fishermen and operators were overwhelmed. Next, the Tsai administration waved the banner of "anti-China" and exaggerated the opposition of unification and "independence", and "fighting for export" became a slogan of start and end, and "fighting for domestic sales" always had to find the Taiwanese army to save the situation.

commented that the administration is helping the people solve the problem. Su Zhenchang's team has always claimed to be "aware of doing things", but when it encounters the dilemma of agricultural export, it becomes a turtle, leaving only playing digital games. Taking pineapple as an example, Japan has replaced mainland China as the largest export market on the surface. However, last year, the total export value of Taiwan's pineapple fell by 32%, not to mention that pineapples exported to Japan were repeatedly exposed to pests and browning problems. Japanese media said that the unit price plummeted by 6 times. Behind the seemingly smooth "transformation" is the cruel truth of shrinking exports and losing all its money. Is this what the Tsai administration boasted about "successfully transferring the export market" and "no longer relying on a single market"?

From being roughly boycotted ECFA when he was "in the wild" to being in power, to promoting the "new southward direction" when he was in power. For a long time, the DPP has always kept "don't put the eggs in the same basket" in order to promote "economic and trade destiny". But the bleak ending of pineapple exports once again proves that if you ignore reality for the sake of politics and recklessly decouple from the mainland market, not only will the "eggs" be broken all over the ground, but the "baskets" are also riddled with holes.

Taiwan media pointed out that if you unite, you will benefit from both sides, and if you fight, you will suffer from both. Taiwan’s mainstream public opinion deeply understands this truth. Whether it is blue and green, think tanks or media polls, they show that the public opinion supports the development of peaceful exchanges across the Taiwan Strait is more than 70%. To solve the quarantine problem of agricultural and fishery products, we need to rely on the pragmatic handling of the public power level across the Taiwan Strait, and there is no need to be involved in political disputes.
