the state council tariff commission announced that it would stop providing tariff-free treatment to 34 agricultural products from taiwan starting september 25, sparking strong concern on the island.

supporting "taiwan independence" is aiding and abetting the evil

according to taiwan's china times on the 19th, the chinese ministry of finance website released the third wave of tariff reduction projects between the two sides of the taiwan strait on the 18th, announcing that from september 25, taiwan's policy of exempting 34 agricultural products such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and aquatic products from import tariffs will be stopped. the ministry of finance stated that taiwan's unilateral discriminatory prohibition and restriction measures on the export of mainland products have seriously hindered cross-strait economic and trade cooperation. subsequently, chen binhua, spokesman for the taiwan affairs office of the state council, expressed "strong support". he said that the mainland side adhered to the concept of "one family across the taiwan strait" and exempted 34 agricultural products such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and aquatic products originating from taiwan from import tariffs 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 and has unilaterally restricted 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. chen binhua said that supporting "taiwan independence" is to help the tyrant and suffer the consequences, which will only harm one's own interests.
