Imported food is supposed to be synonymous with high quality, but unfortunately, food imported from Taiwan is not.
The report's statement that "Taiwan is the top source of substandard food imports to the mainland" is not surprising. Because, the trade behavior between the mainland and Taiwan is not originally a genuine market behavior. It is entirely part of the united front policy, and between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, politics takes precedence over everything else.
Currently, 23 agreements have been signed between the mainland and Taiwan***. These agreements have a *** same point, that is to give Taiwan benefits. Importing Taiwanese fruits and food gives money to Taiwan; liberalizing travel to Taiwan gives money to Taiwan. The purpose is to want to subconsciously influence the attitude of the Taiwanese people towards the mainland.
The result is good, in the eyes of the Taiwanese, the mainland side are complaining about the big head. To travel to Taiwan, the treatment of land tourists is the worst, decades without major tourism accidents in Taiwan, since the opening of land tourists to travel to Taiwan, the land tourists all extinct accidents have occurred every year. As for the food sold from Taiwan to the mainland is more substandard products. According to recently publicized data, the batches of substandard food imported by mainland China from China and Taiwan in 2014 and 2015 accounted for one-fourth of all substandard food batches imported by mainland China in those two years.
Be aware that China imports food from hundreds of countries and regions around the world. Taiwan, which is as big as a booger on the world map, can account for one-fourth of the total number of imported substandard food sold to China. This data is really too scary, Taiwan food can still buy, can still eat?
What is even more infuriating is that these data have long been put on the desktop of the relevant departments, but a put is more than two years, there is no error to the community, so that the public is still unaware of the truth of the buyer is likely to be a safety hazard of imported food from Taiwan. If it were not for the change of weather on the Taiwan side, cross-strait relations turned cold, these data is estimated to never slip through the cracks, right?
The safety of imported food is a matter of concern for the health of millions of people, and the government should not lower its standards just because it is from Taiwan.
The solution to the cross-strait issue is hopeless to rely only on the mainland to send money, and spending money can't buy cross-strait unification. The resolution of the Taiwan issue, or to see whose fist is big, without a battle, Taiwan can not come back.
