State Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian answered reporters’ questions on Taiwan-related hot topics on the 16th.
Q: The DPP authorities have recently opened up food delivery to Taiwan from 5 counties in Fukushima, Japan, and the quality inspection situation has been questioned by the Taiwanese people. Any comments on this please? In addition, after Taiwan opens up Fukushima food, will it affect the food safety of the mainland?
A: Food safety concerns the vital interests of the people, and the health and safety of Taiwan compatriots should be effectively guaranteed. The DPP authorities do not hesitate to harm the health and well-being of the Taiwanese people for the selfishness of one party. Many people in Taiwan strongly question it.
The mainland has a complete food safety supervision system and is fully capable of preventing the inflow of problematic products. Relevant mainland authorities will further strengthen supervision and strictly prevent related products from entering the mainland market through Taiwan, so as to ensure the safety of mainland food and the health of consumers.
