Mainland China announced on the 8th that it will once more ban the export of many Chinese aquatic products to the mainland, including saury, saury, squid and other aquatic products. The industry is worried regarding the price collapse. On the 9th, Premier Su Zhenchang called out “here we come once more”, denouncing mainland China for violating international trade practices. In the future, the government will consider how to reduce the victims, such as opening up more export channels for fishermen and trying not to let the relevant industry got damage.
Su Zhenchang was interviewed before going to the National Information Directors’ Joint Meeting in the morning and said that China violated the relevant trade norms of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and world trade practices, and required the import of related food to be declared, especially for Taiwan. Without warning and without contact, the import of related aquatic products from our country is prohibited. This is following pineapples, custard apples, and grouper in the past, “here we go once more.”
Su Zhenchang said that the government, in addition to appealing through channels for China’s violations of international trade, will consider how to reduce the damage to related victims, including farming, fishing and other industries, and open up more export channels for fishermen. In the case of grouper, the sales volume was even higher than expected, while the price of pineapples has been maintained. In terms of domestic sales, storage and processing, the practice will be more sophisticated, and efforts will be made to prevent the relevant businesses from being harmed.
