China News Service, February 22 (Xinhua) Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, stated on the 22nd that the DPP authorities have delayed and shifted responsibility for the resumption of cross-strait exchanges, and have no intention and inability to solve the vital interests of farmers and fishermen on the island. They are blindly engaging in politics for political self-interest. Manipulating, smearing and slandering the mainland, ignoring the interests of farmers and fishermen on the island, is destined to be unpopular.
On the same day, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference.
A reporter questioned that the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council recently stated that it would coordinate with relevant departments to solve the problem of importing some agricultural and fishery products from Taiwan to the mainland.
Do you have any comments on this?
In response to this, Zhu Fenglian pointed out that for a period of time, farmers and fishermen on the island have expressed through various channels that they are willing to take effective measures to improve product quality and ensure the safety of agricultural and fishery products exported to the mainland.
During their visit to the mainland recently, Xia Liyan, vice chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, and Huang Yicheng, chairman of the Taiwan Cross-Strait Agricultural and Fishery Exchange Development Investment Association, and his delegation conveyed to us the strong desire of the island's farmers and fishermen to resume the import of Taiwan's agricultural and fishery products to the mainland.
It is the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the strait to seek peace, development, exchanges and cooperation.
Supporting Taiwan's farmers and fishermen to share the development opportunities of the mainland is in the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
We attach great importance to the calls of Taiwanese farmers and fishermen to resume the import of Taiwan's agricultural and fishery products to the mainland, and will coordinate with relevant departments to actively resolve them under the premise of meeting inspection and quarantine standards.
Zhu Fenglian pointed out that more and more Taiwan compatriots are deeply aware that resuming and expanding cross-strait exchanges as soon as possible and carrying out face-to-face communication and dialogue are conducive to enhancing their own interests and well-being.
The DPP authorities have been delaying and shirking the resumption of cross-strait exchanges. They have no intention or ability to resolve issues concerning the immediate interests of the farmers and fishermen on the island. They are blindly engaging in political manipulation for political self-interest, smearing and slandering the mainland, and ignoring the interests of the farmers and fishermen on the island. They are destined to be unpopular.
