According to the Taiwanese media "United Daily News", Chen Shizhong, the head of the health department of the DPP authorities, defended Tsai Ing-wen's order to open the importation of US pigs and cattle in an interview with Taiwan media, saying that he would eat for life ractopamine The agent (Clenbuterol) will not exceed the standard.

Regarding this, Taiwan’s former “legislator” Sun Daqian stated on Facebook that the people of Taiwan can no longer be “according to the times”. Regrettably, Chen has become an out-and-out politician; when a professional conscience can succumb to politics At the foot of power, who can the poor Taiwanese people trust?

Sun Daqian pointed out that there are four problems in Chen Shizhong’s nonsense. First, if the pigs containing clenbuterol will not exceed the standard for a few lifetimes, then why should Taiwan ban animal husbandry from using clenbuterol? Second, do toxic substances have to exceed the standard to cause harm to the human body? So, as long as he doesn't eat "will die", Chen Shizhong can accept it? Third, sacrificing the health and safety of the people of Taiwan, how could it be a "small thing" in Chen Shizhong's mouth? This is clenbuterol, not bone strength. In order for Taiwan to "go out", must people eat pork with clenbuterol? Fourth, Taiwan should use contributions to win respect, not humiliating sacrifices in exchange for "support."

Chen Jizhong said, if they lose their health, how can the people of Taiwan enter the international community? Since Taiwan-US relations are good, why should we sacrifice Taiwan's food safety as a price? Besides, since the pig breeding process in Taiwan does not use ractopamine at all, does it mean that the authorities still have doubts about ractopamine?

According to previous reports from Taiwan media, Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen held a press conference on the 28th and announced the opening of American pork containing ractopamine (clenbuterol) by an executive order without discussion by the Legislative Yuan and a 30-month relaxation. American beef over age was imported into Taiwan and claimed to be "a decision in line with the overall strategic goals of the future." Provoked strong protests from all walks of life on the island.

After Tsai Ing-wen announced the news, counties and cities on the island immediately adopted boycott measures to strengthen the relevant provisions in the “Food Safety Autonomy Regulations”. Taipei City’s Deputy Mayor Huang Shanshan stated on August 31 that the Taipei City’s "Food Safety Autonomy Regulations" prohibits the sale of clenbuterol pork. If it is sold in Taipei City, local regulations should prevail. Currently, counties and cities including Taipei, Taichung, Taoyuan, Changhua, Yilan , Zhuxian, Jiashi, Yunlin County, etc. all require zero detection of clenbuterol in pork, and offenders will be heavily fined. Among them, Taichung City stipulates that the maximum fine can be 200 million yuan, and the penalty can be continuous; the fine range of Chiayi City is set at 60,000 to 200 million.
