Buying Laizhu "Going International"? Taiwan officials’ remarks were criticized: betraying people’s health for the sake of the DPP’s political interests!
[Global Times reporter Zhao Juehui] In the face of the possible "anti-Lebanese pig (American pork with clenbuterol) referendum" that may be held in August this year, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have successively spread the word on behalf of the United States. "Concerns", Taiwan's "economic minister" Wang Meihua also said on the 10th that Taiwan must use international standards to regulate Taiwan's participation in the international community and maintain "Taiwan-US relations."
Regarding the DPP’s practice of disregarding the health of the people on the island and only making political manipulations, some netizens on the island sarcastically said, can Taiwan go international after eating "Laizhu"?
According to Taiwan’s China Times Electronic News, on the 10th, Taiwan’s "Minister of Economy" Wang Meihua said in an interview with the media that the United States is concerned about the "anti-Lesbian pig referendum" and that Taiwan must integrate into the international market for pork containing clenbuterol in the allowable and safe content. Society, to stabilize Taiwan-US relations, it is necessary to use international relations to regulate, and Taiwan already imports a lot of American cattle, which is also implemented by the same standards.
Earlier, Taiwan’s "Representative" in the United States, Xiao Meiqin, said that the "anti-League referendum" is one of the major concerns of the United States. If the "referendum" is passed, the further advancement of bilateral trade will indeed bring risks and uncertainties.
The words of Xiao and Wang were quickly criticized on the island, and some Taiwanese netizens even called Xiao Meiqin a "representative of helping the United States" and "betrayed the people's health for the sake of the DPP's political interests."
Professor Shi Zhengfeng of Donghua University denounced Xiao Meiqin as "a running dog raised by the Americans" in a political theory program.
Regarding the so-called "integration into the international society", Shi Zhengfeng asked: "Can I join the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) after eating the "Laizhu"? Originally, there was an FTA (Free Trade Agreement), but now there is nothing. Change to."
According to Taiwan media reports, on the referendum day on August 28 this year, there will be at most four “referendums” such as "anti-Laibo pigs", "cherishing algae reefs", "restarting the nuclear four", and "referendum tied to the general election". The issue of “anti-Lei pigs” was paid attention to, and the analysis believed that the number of co-signers in the “referendum” exceeded expectations, and it was even regarded as a vote of no confidence in the DPP.
China Times reported that the United States Trade Representative (USTR) announced the "President Biden's 2021 Trade Agenda and 2020 Report to Congress" in early March, again naming Taiwan’s import restrictions on U.S. pork and beef products and imposing restrictions on Taiwan. The agricultural policy, which lacks scientific basis, expresses “serious concern” and makes it a priority to require Taiwan to remove restrictions on the import of U.S. pigs and cattle products.
Taiwan's "China Times" recently analyzed that the four "referendum" cases are "referendum" exercised on major policies of the DPP authorities. "If the result of the referendum is passed, it is equivalent to a vote of no confidence in the administrative system." An article in the newspaper on the 11th stated that if the "anti-Lesbian pig" referendum passes in August, whether it will affect Taiwan-US relations will be a thorny issue.
