The Chinese mainland s latest import ban on pineapples from Taiwan is normal biosafety control measures which is scientific and evenhanded, a spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said on Wednesday during a press conference.
She made the comment after the import ban, which took effect on March 1, triggered some complaints among Taiwanese politicians that the mainland government had used the ban to punish the island and bully Taiwanese farmers.
According to Zhu Fenglian, the spokesperson, mainland authorities had identified that Taiwan-grown pineapples have a greater risk of carrying plant-based pests, and therefore made the decision to suspend importing Taiwan pineapples to protect mainland s agricultural production and ecological safety.
