Mainland China recently announced that the investigation of trade barriers to Taiwan was recently announced that the long -term restriction of 2,455 agricultural industry products in Taiwan has entered Taiwan.On the 12th, the day before the Taiwan election was announced.In the past, the mainland mostly regarded cross -strait affairs as the internal affairs of the internal affairs, and rarely resorted to the international. Now the mainland seems to follow the WTO channel, and even according to the WTO specifications, notify our delegation, the mainland policy will turn overnight.trick.

The two sides of the Taiwan Strait joined the WTO at the end of 2001 and early 2002. Although both parties were members of the WTO and must provide the most beneficiary treatment with each other.For safety and industrial protection, more than 2,000 agricultural products from the mainland came to Taiwan.

For example, at the beginning of this year, members reported to the Ministry of Economic Affairs that the mainland snail lion powder packaging was printed with united front slogans and asked to remove the shelves.The Ministry of Economic Affairs subsequently required all physical channels and e -commerce platforms to immediately remove the shelves on the grounds that the import of land -made powder products was never opened.Why should the noodles be banned?The reason for the Ministry of Economic Affairs is to consider the situation of Taiwan's production system and protect Taiwanese operators, so as not to cause market substitution and exclusion, and form unfair competition.

At the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Economic Affairs seemed to move out of the cross -strait trade license method. As everyone knows, after three months, the back of the carbide came.barrier.

In the future, whether the snail lion powder on the mainland can be imported into Taiwan, there are also variables.In fact, the gastric volume in the Taiwan market, whether it is snail lion powder, or more than 2,000 prohibited imports, such as live cattle, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, or apples, strawberries, citrus, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, Eggs, etc., all the trade interests that can be obtained in total, I am afraid that it is not the core concern of the mainland. Otherwise, these discriminatory treatment has been implemented for more than 20 years, but it is not no wonder that it will not be justified until today?IntersectionSo, where is the mainland dance sword?

In the past, the reason why the mainland was unwilling to touch cross -strait affairs in the WTO was dwarf Taiwan, and the other was to avoid Taiwan to show sovereignty.Informing Taiwan, groups that come to do anti -dumping investigations also emphasize that they are folk identities and are not officially involved.

Unexpectedly, the mainland this time, showing that in the future, there is another international "new tool" in Taiwan.It is Taiwan.

However, the paradox is that although the mainland breaks the convention and follows the WTO delegation notification model, it does not mean that after the mainland completes the trade survey, it will eventually file a long -lasting lawsuit to the WTO.Recently, many Taiwanese experts have proposed that retaliation measures that can be adopted in the mainland include relatively prohibited more than 2,000 products from Taiwan, or chose to choose the top 100 manufacturers of exports as the object of sanctions.Cross -Strait Economic and Trade Agreement (ECFA) as revenge.

Regardless of the survey report in the mainland, will it wait until the Taiwan election is hot and the time will be made. The time pressure of mixed political decisions is enough to constitute interference.The two important things in Taiwan's "only two" now must quickly review these more than two thousand products. After all, the time and space environment that sets limited that year is quite different from today.Reasons for industrial protection have been brought.Recently, Taiwan also intends to participate in the "Cross -Pacific Partner Comprehensive Progress Agreement" (CPTPP). In the face of the active operation of the mainland, Taiwan should be given priority to Taiwan. Even if Taiwan does not review it now, it will not be able to bypass the mainland in the future, or the challenges of other members.

The second thing is also in Taiwan's industrial transformation.Yin Jian was not far away. This time, the eggs were like a monster mirror, and there were all problems in Taiwan from production and sales to the channel.Imagine that Taiwan has forbidden mainland eggs to come to Taiwan for at least ten years, but the egg industry is ten years, and traditional chicken houses still account for 80 %, and the lack of open and transparent pricing mechanism. Now it has burned the longest egg shortage in history.Protectiveism, instead of improving the well -being of the people, has become a shame for the failure of government industrial policy.
