China's Taiwan Affairs Office yesterday promoted the effectiveness of the "Ten Measures of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party", saying that before the Taiwanese fishery products import ceremony held in Xiamen on the 23rd, 350 tons of Taiwanese grouper and other fishery products had arrived. In the first three quarters of this year, China's imports of fishery products from Taiwan increased by 35.5% annually. Mainland Affairs Council spokesman Liang Wenjie stressed today that there is no particular increase in grouper. The local production in Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan Island is already very large. If Taiwanese grouper is sold there, it will also face competition from local fisheries.

Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, pointed out on the 28th that since the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was authorized to release ten policies and measures to promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation on April 12, we have worked with relevant parties on the island, based on the political basis of adhering to the "1992 Consensus and Opposing Taiwan Independence", focusing on the people's livelihood needs of Taiwan compatriots, continuing to promote the implementation of the ten measures and making every effort to help the island's agricultural and fishery operators open up the Chinese market.

In this regard, Liang Wenjie pointed out that Taiwan exports many fishery products, but only grouper is the best. Taiwan's annual output of grouper is about 11,700 metric tons, and its exports to China over the years are about 9,000 tons. In fact, except for the two years of 2021 and 2022, when the CCP banned imports for inexplicable reasons, Taiwan's exports to China and Hong Kong have almost maintained at this volume in total, and we have not seen any special increase.

Liang Wenjie said that Taiwan's production capacity is here. On the other hand, China's grouper breeding industry was not so developed in the early years. Now its output is very large in places such as Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan Island. Therefore, if Taiwanese grouper is sold there, it will also face competition from local fisheries. It may not be so easy to increase in the future. Unless there are special political purchases or special political reasons, the approximate amount will remain here according to the market mechanism.

In addition, in the 2026 local elections, New Party Deputy Secretary-General You Zhibin registered to run for Taipei City Council, but was deemed ineligible by the Election Committee. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said yesterday that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities stubbornly insist on Taiwan's independence, blatantly sell the two-nation theory, have repeatedly discriminated against and suppressed former Chinese nationals and groups settled in Taiwan, severely violated their legitimate rights and interests, and severely damaged cross-strait relations. We strongly condemn it.

In response, Liang Wenjie responded that there are new regulations on people from the original mainland area to participate in elections. If Mr. You Zhibin thinks there are problems with the regulations, he can file a petition or file a lawsuit in court. "This is his right, and we respect it."

Open Questions

He admitted that he did not expect the matter to get serious, but he still insisted on the value of rational communication.

The ice making plant at Hualien Fishing Port has been shut down due to old equipment, and fishermen have to go to Yilan Nannan to transport ice. After an inspection, Executive President Zhuo Rongtai announced that the proportion of centrally subsidized ice storage and freezers will be increased to 70%, and the Ministry of Agriculture was required to provide transitional ice-making equipment on a lease-purchase basis before completion to solve the livelihood and food safety issues of fishermen.
