In response to the notice issued by the General Administration of Customs on its website on 26th about suspending the import of pineapples from Taiwan Province Province, Xiao, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office, said that since 2020, mainland customs has intercepted quarantine pests from pineapples imported from Taiwan Province Province to the mainland for many times. Once these pests are introduced, they will pose a serious threat to agricultural production and ecological security in Chinese mainland.
In order to prevent the risk of plant epidemic from the source, the General Administration of Customs decided to suspend the import of pineapple from Taiwan Province Province to the mainland from March 1 20265438. This is a normal biological safety precautions, scientific and reasonable, in line with the relevant laws, regulations and standards in the Mainland.
Zhu Fenglian pointed out that the customs inspection and quarantine of imported agricultural products according to law is the requirement of implementing relevant laws, regulations and standards, as well as the need to prevent the risk of plant epidemics and protect people's rights and interests.
However, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities deliberately distorted and maliciously interpreted technical issues, and took the opportunity to attack and discredit the mainland. This fully exposes their consistent practice of malicious manipulation in cross-strait affairs, which shows that they have neither the will nor the ability to solve practical problems and can only evade their responsibilities by slandering the mainland.
She also said that the safety of agricultural products is closely related to agricultural production, ecological security, food safety and people's rights and interests. We have always attached great importance to it and will continue to take strict measures to control it.
Extended data:
Since March 1, the mainland has suspended the import of pineapples from Taiwan Province Province due to the discovery of pests for many times. This was maliciously hyped by the green camp media in Taiwan Province Province, and it also exposed many truths.
Politicizing all mainland issues is the usual trick of Democratic Progressive Party authorities, including COVID-19 vaccine and pineapple in Taiwan Province province. Democratic Progressive Party did the same this time, claiming that pineapples in Taiwan Province province were suppressed by the mainland. But there is always a place where lies can't be caught. With the development of the incident, many secrets that Democratic Progressive Party didn't want to tell were revealed.
For example, Democratic Progressive Party has been boasting about how to promote agricultural products in Taiwan Province Province. Results The data show that the largest export market of fruits in Taiwan Province Province is the mainland, which imports more than 40,000 tons of pineapples from Taiwan Province Province every year, accounting for about 10% of the total output of Taiwan Province Province. Last year, even Tsai Ing-Wen publicly praised the pineapples exported to Australia, but only 56 kilograms of dried pineapples were sold throughout the year. This year's figure is even "0".
The more acute fact is that Democratic Progressive Party doesn't care whether there is a market for agricultural products in Taiwan Province Province. These days, Democratic Progressive Party claims that the demand for pineapples in Taiwan Province Province is almost in short supply. However, people of insight soon discovered that detecting pests was a technical problem that could be solved, but it was manipulated by Democratic Progressive Party into a political problem with no solution. Democratic Progressive Party doesn't want to help Taiwan Province pineapple return to the mainland market at all. Not only did the bridge not be repaired, but the road was also destroyed.
Due to the limited transportation time, fresh fruits can only be sold nearby, and there is an objective basis for Taiwan Province Province to sell fruits to the mainland. After destroying the road to the mainland market, the problem of pineapple sales in Taiwan Province Province has become more serious. Putting political labels on pineapples will only harm the vital interests of fruit farmers in Taiwan Province Province.
