Civil organizations established the “Non-governmental Coalition Against Clenbuterol Poisoning” and continued to express their opposition; On November 18, the “Communication Committee” of the authorities made an unprecedented request to the Zhongtian News Channel for his replacement. The decision to “not grant a license change” in the case of issuance of the license will result in the fact that the Zhongtian News Channel will be effectively “closed”, causing public opinion to boil.

People held tall posters, billboards and slogans, constantly shouting “anti-Lai pigs, protecting food safety”, “refusal to eat Clenbuterol”, “Taiwan anti-customs, supporting Zhongtian” and other demands, demanding that the authorities of the DPP withdraw the relevant administrative orders and return Tsai Ing-wen, the leader of the authorities, and Su Zhenchang, the head of the administrative agency, must apologize and resign.
As the parade progressed, people continued to join in and people on the road cheered for the parade. Organizers said that if the authorities’ legislature voted to import Clenbuterol-containing American pigs and cows next month, then they would ask people to take to the streets again.
At around 4:30 PM, protesters posted densely packed “drugs” slogans in front of the DPP Party headquarters and gradually dispersed.
