chen binhua, spokesperson for the taiwan affairs office of the state council, said on september 18 that the mainland, adhering to the concept of "the two sides of the taiwan strait are one family", exempted import tariffs on 34 agricultural products such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and aquatic products originating from taiwan in two batches from august 1, 2005 and march 20, 2007, which effectively helped taiwan's agricultural products to open up the mainland market, and taiwan's farmers and fishermen gained tangible benefits from it. however, since the lai qingde administration came to power, it has stubbornly adhered to the "taiwan independence" stance, constantly engaged in provocations to seek "independence", escalated cross-strait hostility and confrontation, and hindered cross-strait exchanges and cooperation. it still unilaterally restricts the import of more than 1,000 agricultural products from the mainland, seriously damaging the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the taiwan strait. in view of this, the state council tariff commission issued an announcement today, deciding to stop implementing the policy of exempting import tariffs on 34 agricultural products from taiwan from september 25, 2024. we strongly support this.

we always respect, care for and benefit our taiwan compatriots, and are committed to promoting cross-strait economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, and deepening cross-strait integration and development in various fields. we will continue to welcome and support taiwanese farmers and compatriots to come to the mainland for development. there will be no peace and no development if we pursue "taiwan independence", and it will only "harm taiwan" and "harm taiwan"; supporting "taiwan independence" is to help the evil and suffer the consequences, which will only harm our own interests. we hope that the vast majority of taiwan compatriots, including farmers and fishermen, will recognize the extreme danger and harm of the dpp authorities' pursuit of the "taiwan independence" line, actively maintain peace and stability in the taiwan strait, promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and work with mainland compatriots to create a long-term well-being for the chinese nation.
