The separatist Taiwan People s Party (TPP) on Wednesday put pressure on the island s authority to consider a tough response to the Chinese mainland s ban on importing pineapples from the island, in the latest sign of misleading political hype that risks undercutting the broad economic bond across the Straits.
The TPP s party caucus in Taiwan s Legislative Yuan urged the island s ruling authority to come up with a solution and warn the mainland against the use of trade as a political means, the Taiwan-based Central News Agency (CNA) reported on Wednesday.
The Chinese mainland s suspension of pineapple imports from the Taiwan region starting from Monday is a normal preventive measure to ensure biosecurity and is completely reasonable and necessary, said a mainland spokesperson.
A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Tuesday warned Taiwan s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authority not to go further down the wrong path of political manipulation of Hong Kong-related issues.
