Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai accompanied President Tsai Ing-wen to inspect the Dagang Bridge this afternoon. When asked by the media, Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe said that “the poor eat the beautiful pigs in the end.” Chen Qimai replied that the market share of American pigs in Taiwan is only 1%, pork imported from Canada is also cheaper than American pigs. Comments should be based on relatively complete figures. How to control people’s health, take care of the rights and interests of pig farmers and open the export market for pork is what the government should do.
After Chen Qimai took office as mayor, Tsai Ing-wen went to Kaohsiung for the first time. Chen Qimai told the media that he would lead the president to see the construction that requires the help of the central government, mainly the development of the industry, because the bridge technology will involve future advanced semiconductors, so some international manufacturers want to promote investments, I hope investment promotion or the overall progress of the bridge can be accelerated; the second is the 5G AIoT innovation park in the New Asia Bay Area. In the future, I hope that the development of 5G will include end-to-end verification fields, and also hope to include state-owned and international companies Major manufacturers can take the lead and make the most of the role of hens and chickens, making Kaohsiung a basis for the development of new companies in the future to develop 5G and AIoT.
The other is the Luzhu extension of the MRT Yellow Line and the MRT Red Line. Chen Qimai hopes to accelerate the progress of these transport constructions and must also have the support of the central government. So today, the president is very welcome to help Kaohsiung and will put more of Kaohsiung’s needs to make Kaohsiung a development center in the southern region. Whether it is the integration of industry, transportation and life in the southern region, please be able to balance the plan. The gap between the North and the South, the great development of the South.
As for the sudden death of Yan Yongneng, as an old acquaintance, he also did radio shows in the past. Chen Qimai said that he used to be the director of the sweet potato radio station. Yan was the host of the radio show. He was a revolutionary partner in the process of breaking the authoritarian period to fight for freedom of expression. In fact, I’ve been paying attention to local music, especially some local creations in the south. It can be said that they are very, very contributors to local music. They are very original singers. We are very familiar with him and we are very saddened by his death.
Chen Qimai said that cultural director Wang Wencui was appointed as a representative for the first time last night and did not return to Kaohsiung until three or four in the morning. We hope there will be some monuments or activities in Kaohsiung in the future. We will invite the Office of Cultural Affairs to plan. My family and their orchestra are also coordinating. Today I went to Pingtung to see some members of their original orchestra. We hope to take good care of them at work or in life. I also ask Director Wang to make some plans.
In response to Ke Wenzhe’s statement that American pigs are eventually eaten by poor people, Chen Qimai said that the market share of American pigs in Taiwan is only 1%. The reason is simple, because Taiwanese pork is delicious. Everyone loves to eat Taiwanese pork. Body pork accounts for 70% of the market. If you add frozen Taiwanese pork, Taiwanese pork is about 90%. Almost everyone chooses delicious Taiwanese pork. In fact, from a CIF price point of view, the cheapest imported pork is not American pigs. The average CIF price of US pigs is between 78 and 79 Taiwan dollars. In contrast, imported pork from Canada is cheaper.
Chen Qimai said the review should be based on relatively comprehensive figures. The question of security is, of course, the most important. Therefore, ensuring the health of the country’s population includes the management of zoning and marking of products. This must be strictly enforced. This is the local government. The job of training pig farmers can reduce their production costs and secure the income of all pig farming. We will work with the central government to help our pig farmers not only stay stable in the country, but also control the price of production and sales. More importantly, we must sell our delicious Taiwanese pork internationally, so when the government comes across imports of American pork containing ractopamine, how can it cooperate with the central government and do everything possible to monitor the health of people? The government must take care of the rights and interests of pig farmers and open the export market for pork.
Importing American pigs requires a lot of labor, material resources, and funds. Chen Qimai also said that this is not a problem. We check people’s health and the local government will make every effort to implement management support measures, including how to increase the ractopamine content. Regarding the sampling and inspection capabilities of US pigs, Office of Health Director Huang has already started planning, including how to synchronize with the number of private laboratory inspections to improve, budget or related support facilities. We have done the best Prepare the best package.
