Why It Matters

Food safety issues have arisen in the free nutritious lunches provided by many schools in Taipei City. Mayor Chiang Wanan launched the "Food Safety" campaign on July 25, emphasizing that food safety is national security.

◎ Foolish work

Taipei City Chengyuan High School, Taipei University Affiliated High School, Jinhua Junior High School, and National Elementary School successively issued packages of free nutritious lunches. Faced with the package, Jiang Wanan argued that the school had sent samples for examination, and only 9 students in one class of more than 700 students were unwell. The same central kitchen was provided to the other three schools and there were no similar conditions. Writer Zhao Xiaohui questioned that Jiang Wanan's first thought was not "how to protect children with the highest standards", but to reduce the scope of damage and prove that his city government team did not make a fatal mistake. Jiang Wanan's attitude was completely devoid of empathy and was avoiding the important. Zhao Xiaohui criticized Jiang Wanan. If he puts the health of citizens first, he must have three major elements in his tone: (1) emphasize "zero tolerance," (2) come up with an "action plan," and (3) have the courage to "take responsibility."

Recently, free and nutritious lunches have been distributed in several schools in Taipei City. The picture shows the inspection of Chengyuan High School by the Taipei City Health Bureau. (Provided by Beijing Municipal Health Bureau)

Zhao Xiaohui also sarcastically asked, who emphasized that food safety is national security at the end of July this year (2026) and launched the Kaidao campaign to "protect food safety"? As a result, in the city where he was in power, four cases of free and nutritious school lunches were distributed within a month. It was really hilarious!

Please read on...

Zhao Xiaohui’s comments point out Jiang Wanan’s Chinese symptoms: falsehood and three-beat culture.

False Da Kong is the abbreviation of "lie, big talk, empty talk", and Sanpai is the abbreviation of "make a decision with a pat on the head, a guarantee with a pat on the chest, and leave with a pat on the butt". On July 25th, Jiang Wanan launched a campaign to "protect food safety" with gongs and drums, but the result was that he ruined the food safety first and then used strong words and sophistry. He was worse than the corrupt Chinese official Cheng Kejie. Cheng Kejie was dismissed as vice chairman of the National People's Congress. He was the first senior official to be shot for corruption since the founding of the Communist Party of China. His most famous anti-corruption quote is, "I can't sleep at night when I think of the 6 million people in the autonomous region who don't have enough to eat." The empathy shown by people at that time was touching. After he was arrested, he made no strong excuses, unlike Jiang Wanan who made a lot of nonsense after being kicked out.

In addition to food safety issues, Jiang Wanan cut down trees indiscriminately and replaced them with cement mushrooms to raise national security concerns, and set up nonsensical cage-style smoking areas, which forced passers-by to smoke second-hand smoke, and then spent another amount of money to dismantle the iron cages. This culture of lavishly wasting public funds without thinking, without investigation and research is a typical Chinese three-shot culture. As for falsifying one's academic qualifications, it is a manifestation of the fake and empty culture. The Chinese symptoms of Jiang Wanan: the fake air and the three-beat culture make people sigh when writing: How can a beautiful woman become a thief?

Rectifying the gray industry chain of "paid internships": paid internships and trafficked job-hunting anxiety

The article points out that some students are stuck in job hunting due to lack of internship experience. Paying for internship positions and certificates has become a no choice. However, many paid internships are only for odd jobs or even fictitious positions. It is difficult to improve professional abilities and difficult to safeguard rights, reflecting the problem of campus employment guidance being out of touch with market demand.
