A Really Odd Contraction of the Virus in the Laboratory Setting

This is still a, TOP-DOWN management problem of how the directors didn’t set up a strict means of managing the systems, that’s why, those who worked under this, not set-up properly systems, started, @#$%ING up, and, now, the virus is, out, in the community, and instead of solving the matter, to contain it, these officials are still, evading responsibilities, not coming up of a way, to catch that virus before it spreads out of control, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Another local outbreak, the highly acclaimed P3 Labs became, the holes in the defense against the spread of MERS-CoV, and this was a genetic center that is operated by the Central Research Agency, the former vice president, Chen, and the former director of Central Research Weng worked in the same building as the laboratory.  The recent events, whether it be the rat bites, or the bullying of the superiors, had all been, unbelievably, odd.

“don’t blame it on me! I’m innocent!!!” so stated, the R-A-T!

the rat here, being, injected, with the virus for testing…photo from online

The legendary P3 lab has a high-end defense system for protection, a carefully followed set of standard-operating-procedure, with every worker following the mandates down to the last letter, the female research assistant who’d only started working recently had been bitten TWICE by the rats, after she’d filed a suit, she started using the “official” explanations, and even as she started experiencing the symptoms, she’d not gone for a quick scan, instead, she’d, trekked around, then, quit her job so abruptly.  Recently, as the CDC checked, they’d found that on the door handles, the laboratory desk tops, had been smeared with the viral contents.  This sort of a loosened managing systems, is the lab really up for doing researches as deadly as MERS-CoV?

It’s said, that doe to lacking in human resources, that’s why the lab had hired an inexperienced research assistant.  And yet, the female assistant only got hired back in May, and started working back in September, and, so many things had happened under her watch, apparently this was, a case of, “maladjustment” to the job.  What’s even odder was, the woman quit on the third, and, the confirmed diagnosis had been assigned only five days later, while the man responsible for overseeing the operations of the laboratory, Jeng just filed for his retirement on the first of this month.  This series of coincident, proves the “cheese theory”: something will happen, because all those holes are now, connected, into, one, straight line.

The society is questioning all the events leading up to the diagnosis of the female research assistant, and yet, the Central Research Agency never gave a full explanation of how the viral contents were found present on the doorknobs and the top of the tables with the equipment over it?  Why is it that the female researcher had contracted a different strain of the virus than the rat with the virus contents in its systems?  Who’d not followed the standard-operating procedures in the laboratories?  Why did a normal complaint turn into bullying in the workplace?  The Central Research Agency stuttered on all of these inquiries, couldn’t give an acceptable answer.  As for the heads of the bio-tech industries, they’d, plead the fifth too themselves as well.

And so, there’s not just not manning up to take the responsibilities, of how the female research assistant had, contracted the virus, the possibilities of the virus, spreading out and about in the country from the lab, there’s also, that loosened up system of operations of this, top-notch, “government-secret” virus research lab, and, this still just showed, how it’s still, the top of the heads that didn’t set up the system right, and crooked sticks will always and forever, give off those, crooked, shadows here!

The Entry Level Medical Staff Members at the Blames for the Vaccinations System Errors?

Who gets the blame here, oh yeah, not the perps!  Off of the Newspapers, translated…

A couple in Taipei, in order to receive their vaccinations, lied about how they’d misplaced and lost their yellow vaccine registry card, torn off the sticker of proof of vaccination on their national health insurance cards, signed a written statement, swearing they’d never had their vaccinations yet, to “bug” the medical staff to administer the vaccines on them, and they’d used an assortment of measures, received a total of FOUR injections; but, as the government learned of this, it’d only called out to the public, to NOT abuse the systems, and the Taipei Department of Sanitations stated “there’s no law set to punish this behaviors”.  The entry level medical workers are already stressed, are now, also, responsible, for the health problems, the medical neglect suit that came out of this?

The purpose of setting up a working system is to ensure the policies gets implemented, and the fairness, the local hospitals, treatment clinics in the city of Taipei, so long as you insert in your national health insurances card, you can log into the central national health insurance system, check for the records of the patients’ vaccination records, the different is, that the major hospitals are, connected to the CDC’s interface (API), that they can check in a faster manner; but the independent clinics didn’t have this setting, has a slower time to process the checks, which leads to the delayed uploading information, which became the holes that these individuals trying to cheat the systems can squeeze through.

Although the hospitals, the clinics were mandated to upload the vaccination records on the dates of the vaccinations, but the speed to which the upload is different, and, it would be impossible, to try and prevent these individuals from cheating the systems , and yet, Central government couldn’t, face the shortcomings of the systems, the incomplete policies of vaccination, and, tossed the responsibilities of this to the local hospitals and clinics independently by saying, “check the national health insurance card to see if the members of the public had their vaccinations”, and not mentioned a single word of how these who cheated the systems is to be, dealt with.

No way to punish, the central, the local governments, all took a passive attitude on the matter, and the pressures are on the entry level workers at the hospta8ils.  If the systems, with all its holes not patched up, would the clinics, hospitals, be willing, to, get sued for, negligence, get fined, so there would be, more and more, “fourth dose warriors” in the society here?

There had been past instances of mistakenly injecting the wrong brands of vaccinations, and the HSR workers, falsifying identification, to sneak in a second dose, the demented getting the mix brands, which showed, how the system isn’t, working, properly here, the Central Government should be discussing how to avoid this from happening again, and to punish individuals like these, who’d, cheated the systems, in getting the mix brand, and extra doses in.

And so this is a top-down problem, because the system isn’t set up correctly, which is precisely, W-H-Y, these problems are, happening, because the government is still, delayed in catching up, and it’s still, lagging behind, and that’s why, the people felt the need, to squeeze through these, holes here.  And yet, the government still, doesn’t MAN up, and take responsibilities for it.

The Couple in Their Sixties Went on a Vaccination Spree, Received Four Vaccinations in Only Six Months Each

And, there’s, NO laws, set up, to prevent this, or to, punish this sort of, an AWFUL behaviors, it’s still because of the holes in the system, that this couple is, getting away with this, a top-down problem still!  Off of the Newspapers, translated…

There are many in the local communities who’d only received, their, second doses recently, and yet, there is a couple in their sixties in the city of Taipei, who’d used the excuses of losing their vaccination records, tearing off the sticker of the recorded dates of their vaccinations, from May to July, they’d gone to the hospitals in cities including Taipei and Kinmen, to get a total of FOUR vaccinations, not only did they mix the vaccines, they even, tried to get in a fifth, but the Taipei Medical Systems already received the reports, they weren’t able to get their fifths.

“There’s, NO law against this, nor is there, any fines set up to prevent this sort of bad behaviors.”, the committee member of the Taipei Department of Sanitations, Ou told, she’d flipped the pages of the laws front to back and found no rules of punishment written for the bad behaviors of cheating the systems to receive the extra vaccinations, currently, the offices of Sanitations of Taipei can only ask the clinics, the hospitals, to pay more attention to this matter, and, asked those who are getting a vaccinations, to show their national health insurance cards, for verifications, to check with the central inoculation agency’s system management, and, after confirming, then, will the vaccinations be, administered, and if the individual insisted on getting the extra vaccinations, and refused to leave, then, they clinics and hospitals can call the police to escort the individuals off the premises.

Based off of understanding, this couple in their sixties, in May, they’d paid for the AZ vaccinations in Taipei first, then, as the vaccinations became available free of charge, they’d flown to Kinmen to get their second; they’d torn off the sticker verifying that they had their firsts, and lied to the medical staff that they’d not get received a first vaccination yet, but the medical staff found them out, and, checked the records filed with the National Health Insurance Agencies, and, refused to vaccinate them.

take your pick, of choice of, multiple vaccinations…

and, you can have, one shot of, each if you wish to…photo from online

But this couple still didn’t give it up, they’d continued claiming to the medical staff they hadn’t had their firsts yet, and signed the papers stating that they hadn’t received any vaccinations yet, and their next-of-kin in Kinmen vouched for them too, and in the end, the medical staff members can only, give them their vaccinations.

After both the husband and the wife had their second doses, in mid-July, they got inoculated again in Taipei, they were tagged as suspicious, and the medical staff refused to administer them their vaccinations, so they’d, switched to another treatment clinic to try to cheat the systems, and, after many attempts, they finally passed, and got their third, and using the time of the information upload in the system, on the following day after they’d received a third vaccination, they’d immediately gone to another treatment clinic, to get a fourth in.

In the short period of time, they had a total of four vaccines.  Of them, the first and seconds were Astra-Zeneca vaccines, the third, fourth are Moderna or BioNTech, and yet, they’d still, circled around the various hospital, clinics, to attempt to cheat a fifth time, but, because the medical staff members worried there may be serious side effects, that it would be a negligence suit, and so, they’d, reported these cases, and that was when the bad behaviors of this couple came out in the open.

Ou said, that all the residual doses’ availability as the members of the public comes in, if the citizens didn’t register with the health medical provision systems, based off of the data recording systems in the local clinics, the clinics couldn’t confirm the past records of the public’s vaccinations records, and it wouldn’t be until the data is uploaded into the system, will the problem pop up, which was how this couple got away, with getting, four total doses.

The spokesperson of the CDC, Chuang said, this case is rare, but, still reminded that the independent clinics must check the National Health Insurance cards for the records of vaccination, to avoid abuse.  He said, the clinics may have been fooled, that he will see how the other local offices of sanitations’ systems of records worked, to decide if a fine will be enforced on these offices of sanitations.

And so, instead of punishing these CHEATS, the government goes after a SCAPEGOAT, the local offices of sanitations, and this still just reflected on how IMCOMPETENT the government is here, if the system is working properly, why the @#$%, would people try and cheat the systems like this?  This is still, a top-down problem, because the systems of registration for vaccination wasn’t fully set up, that’s why, now the holes appeared, and, people like this couple, squeezed through them.

The Six Inmates Bullied Their Cellmate, Sentenced to Four to Seven Year’s More

Picking on someone lesser, that, is what we, normally do, and this happened in prison, where people are sent, to get, “corrected”, molestation and abuse of their, fellow, inmate…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Yen and five other men were serving in the prison of Kaohsiung, saw that their cellmate, the twenty-seven-year-old was with that feminine feel to him, easily bullied, and, they’d, ganged up on the man for more than a month, until the manager of the prison noted something wasn’t quite right, then, busted them all.  The victim accused the perpetrators for molesting him, that he was stomped on his pubic area, nicknamed, “Missy”, and “bitch” and other names, while Yen told that they were only, joking.  The High Subsidiary Courts of Kaohsiung sentenced the perpetrators anywhere from four years five months to seven years.

The verdict pointed out, that the victim and Yen, and five others shared the same cell, Yen was the “man in charge” of the cell, responsible for keeping the peace in the cell; at five in the afternoon on May 21^st, 2017, Yen disregarded the victim’s fighting him of, touched his penis by force, the cellmates, Tseng, Hsu saw, didn’t put a stop to Yen’s behavior, instead, they’d, joined in molesting Yen, pinned the victim down, so he couldn’t use his legs to kick off his attackers, Yen was successful in molesting his cellmate.

The victim appeared, and sounded, more feminine, he’d been long-time bullied by his cellmates, and, as he was molested by the group, nobody saved him, and his cell mates exacerbated, and all participated in his abuse, he’d worried if he’d fought, it would get worse for him, and can only, allow Yen and others to pat his breasts, his pubic area, and, he was stomped on hard in his pubic too, for about a whole month’s time.

But, being bullied long-term, it’d, made the manager of the prison system noted that something wasn’t quite right, and reviewed the surveillance, and found the group’s bad acts; during the testimonies, the victim cried that his fellow cellmate nicknamed him “missy”, “whore”, and would moan and groan like him, and every time one of his cellmates started abusing him, the others would, join in, and so, he couldn’t find help, and could only, put up with the abuse.

Yen and the other inmates claimed they were only, horsing around, but the judge reviewed the surveillance footages in the prison cells, and, charged the men who’d abused their fellow inmates on felonies of molesting using power.

And so, this, is how the underdog lives, he couldn’t fight back, because, it would only get worse for him, and he had, nowhere to run to, he’s, locked in with his abusers, and so, he could, only, keep what happened to himself, until the prison guard found something that seemed off with him, then, this case, busted wide, open, and these men who’d, abused this victim will get punished, even more severely, and, they will, be paying for what they did to this fellow inmate for a long time to come.

For Seventy-Four Days, the Case Went Unprosecuted, the District Attorney Indicted

The D.A. was thrown UNDER the BUS here, and, they’re not, exactly, “victims” either, they’d NOT done their jobs properly, that’s why, the office had been, thrown, UNDER the B-U-S here!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The 25-year-old African American male, Arbery went out jogging, was chased down by three white men driving pickups, gunned down, the three defendants are all charged with murder on the twenty-fourth.  The Washington Post analyzed, that this case was shocking enough for the local residents in the state, but the district attorneys, for seventy-four days after the brutal murder, hadn’t charged the suspects yet, which puts the D.A.s office under the microscope too, the D.A.s office was indicted by the grand jury, which was, extremely, rare.

Washington Post pointed out, that the powers, the roles of the district attorney’s offices played in these cases, how they should weigh and measure, maintain balance, already struck up the debates.

As the activist groups, the congresspersons, along with attorneys, working together, to push forth the reforms of the district attorney’s department in Georgia, the jurors of the Arbery case began agreeing; and yet, a district attorney ruled the firing of the gun as legal from before.

On February 23^rd of last year, Arbery went out jogging locally, and was pursued by Gregory McMichael, and Travis McMichael on their truck, and gunned down; later the neighbor of McMichael, Bryan also joined in the pursue, and captured the footages fo the father son, shooting down Arbery.

After Arbery was murdered, the residents of Georgia demanded the state government set up an investigation committee, to find if the district attorney’s offices had done their jobs; the attorney association of Georgia is supportive of amending the law, to allow the supervisors to revoke the license to practice law of the district attorneys who don’t follow the moral standards, to not just give them slaps on the wrists.

Jackie Jackson, the Georgia district attorney assigned to the case had been indicted this October.

Cunningham, the professor of law at Georgia State pointed out, that the shocking details of how Arbery was murdered heightened the sense of awareness of the public, and it’d made them think, that if there’s an immoral district attorney, what would, happen.

Cunningham stated, that unless there’s a fuller evaluation system for the D.A.’s office, otherwise, the people’s faith in the district attorney’s offices are already, in crisis.

The reports mentioned, that the district attorney of the Arbery case coming under the bus is quite rare; because district attorneys around the nation rarely gets reprimanded, and, can easily get voted again as the incumbents.

And so this case brought out public awareness, how we the people can affect changes in the systems, because this particular district attorney didn’t do her/his job completely, that’s why the suspects weren’t arrested right away, and that made the public angry, and, to soothe the general public, the state government FIRED the district attorneys of the case, but this is still just, scapegoating, because, you’re only, treating the symptoms here, NOT the illnesses still.

The Case of the College Male Student Being Beaten, Three Police Officers Received Written Reprimands, & Were Demoted

The police’s actions, failed to live up to the public’s expectations, and they all got, reprimanded, demoted, and the real problem stays, unresolved here, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The male college student on the midnight of the seventh, had a fender-bender with a Maserati in the city of Taichung, was beaten to severely injured, the law enforcement officials took three suspects including Chang in to custody, and, charged all three with attempted murder, assault, and, forced actions; the district attorneys found that all three are suspected of being involved, after interrogations, asked the courts to keep them in custody, which the courts signed off on.

For the time being, the police believed, that the men weren’t caught in the act, and, only written them a warning, and this sparked up the debate of how the police didn’t handle the matters properly, the district attorney of this case checked immediately, to see if there were, improper behaviors, of the police department.  The city police yesterday, handed down the first wave of reprimands, gave the station manager of the sixth precinct in Taichung a written reprimand, the leader of the investigations, Chen, the head of the office of the substation, Lee were both, transferred out of their current positions.  They’re still checking for other officers who may be involved in the mishandling of the proceedings.

The head of Taichung City Police Department, Tsai stated, that the sixth for the time being, didn’t check all the facts, and, booked the suspects on assault charges, “This is totally unacceptable!”.  The assistant manager, Deng told, that the department will continue to evaluate the operating measures, to find out how to balance human rights with the enforcing of the law, that the office will change in various directions.

This case also started up the discussions of politics related to it, the DDP councilmember in a helmet, questioned that the simple fender bender had turned into violence on the streets, this puts all the ordinary citizens in danger, causing widespread panic, demanded that the mayor get pulled out of office, “if the chief of police isn’t out, then, the mayor should be out!”

Tsai told, that as the police rushed over, the fight already, dissipated, the assault victim was still aware, accompanied by the police officers to ride to the hospital; and, they’re still trying to clear what caused the fight, and so, they’d only, taken the related parties into custody, then, tracked down the other suspects using the video surveillance footages, whatever evidence they were able to collect, that, is what they have to go by.

But Song’s mother told, as she was asked to give a statement, she’d wanted to sue all three assailants, but the police told her, that only Chang beat her son, the other two were holding her son’s neck down, that they’d not engaged in the physical violence, “you can only sue one of them”, the police are too passive in handling the case.

A retired district attorney spoke on the police’s behalf, believed that there are too many, “hindsight biases”, for the time being, the police, due to a lack of evidence, wouldn’t make an arrest, to avoid “the police abusing their powers to make the arrests”, another issue of complaint the police department had received quite often.

And so, you can see, how difficult the jobs of the police is here, when they do too much, the public pounds them down, on brutality, and when they didn’t do quite enough, based off of the interpretations of the members of the public, they’re all called out on being lacking in doing their responsible duties.  And, these three officers that got demoted, and written reprimands, are all, scapegoats, it’s the system of the operations, how the standard-operating-procedures which were set up that needed to get changed, and these officers were thrown, under the BUS for it.

With National Security as a Call of the Information Leaks, There Would Only be Many More of the Elementary, Mistakes Made

It’s only, that tiny “blip” that’s caused a ton of high schoolers’ data getting lost, kinda like how it was only a “touch” of the buttons by the employee of Taipower that’s, caused, that huge, blackout, and next time, who knows, it might be, a hacker, who gets her/his hands, on all our, personal data, and we the people can do nothing, because we all became, pigs to the slaughter!  The government really needs to tighten up on information security here, but, does it?  HECK no, it’d rather, spend all our money, on shits like, the five-times vouchers, the “freebie” vouchers for the drawings, and there’s nothing WE the people can do ‘bout it!!!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translate…

The government here viewed information security as matter of national security, and more than 20,000 uploaded learning process case files went missing, the experts believed, that the central government was lacking in its means of supervising the systems well, not listed the “loss of data” into the costs of the program set up, the information security budget of the Legislative Department hadn’t increased for many years, that “national security” is, nothing more than, a motto only, and similar things will keep on recurring.

this…

The anonymous experts in information security stated, “the department of education’s failure to backup this sensitive, and vital data, had it been a well-known electronic company that’s done this, losing the clients’ information, and asked the clients to resubmit the data, the company would’ve already gotten, bankrupt.”, he’d spoken straight, that the attitude of uncaring enough toward the matter of information security, it’s a microcosm of this government, and “things like this will only keep on, recurring.”

The security expert observed, that the banking industries with huge amounts of personal data, is kept on a tight watch by the board of committee members of the industry, the telecommunications, the cable companies, under the NCC, once there’s a leak of personal data, the loss of data, a huge fine will be enforced, “not just talking about the fines, but really the fines will get, enforced!”

The government’s viewing data security as national security, adding the security updates to the various department, but the department responsible for the whole of the information security of the country, for these past three years, the budgets allotted stayed at $3.31 million N.T.s.  There’s the higher risks of data security by the days, to the point of having too much information into the systems, and the budgets of the department, and the tasks the department had been required to handle, doesn’t, even out.

or worse, this…

and, all your information, without the backup files, gone, and you got, NO way, of recovering them again!

Mr. Lee, who’s familiar with the innerworkings of the information technology system used by the government believed, that the budgets in the sales department had been cut each and every year, causing the budget to focus on the information communications only, and not the backup files, the “low end” mistakes of losing the data of the students’ learning process profiles, will be other departments’ example to take from too.

A government worker told the press reporter of this paper, that after buying in more of the communication software, the information accumulated, but the public department’s equipment only has a five to ten year usage rate, and before that date expires, the systems of operations, the equipment can’t be switched out, “so what happens when there’s not enough storage space?  We can only, ask for the funds from the specialty projects, but this is not a long-term solution to this problem.”, the worker said with a worrisome tone of voice, that this time, it was only the learning process profiles that got lost in the systems, and who can guarantee, that what’s lost the next time it happens, won’t be the people’s, personal, information?

And so, this is still, only, a “tiny blip”, in the, bigger system that’s, the problems here.  The systems aren’t up-to-date, and, naturally, when something gets used for a long, long time, it fries, and, this time, it was only, the high schoolers’ learning process profiles that “got lost” in the server, and, who knows, the next time, it may be that file of all of our, health insurance cards, our identification numbers that got, “eaten” by the, system, and what’s worse, is that hackers can hack into the systems, and, get their hands on all of that, and, voila, the information, leaked!!!

And, there’s NOTHING any of us can do about it, because the government still doesn’t, budget enough of our taxes, on the matter of, information technology safety here…

Contusions, and Hematoma, the Nine-Month Old Infant Boy Suspected of Being Abused

The parent claimed that it was, an “accident”, but, does anybody believe it?  I think, N-O-T!  A terrible case of, a child, becoming, the scapegoat of his parents’, argument here, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

An infant of about nine-months of age was rushed into the E.R. in Kaohsiung two nights ago, there was contusions on his back, with hematoma in large surface areas, he was immediately taken to the I.C.U. upon admittance; the hospital suspected abuse, and notified the Social Services and the police.  Based off of understanding, the infant was cared for by his mother, two evenings ago, because the infant was injured, and the mother swallowed a lot of pills, she too was, taken to the hospital with her young son.  The police investigators found that there was a high possibility of the infant male having been abused, but the facts hadn’t been checked, so the Social Services had, intervened first.

The police stated, that the Jen-Wu Police Substation’s Da-Hwa Subprecinct received the call from Changgang Hospital, and told that there was a suspected case of child abuse, the officers from the station rushed over, and, had the location of where the infant male was registered, the Fengshan Substation to oversee the case.

tripped, and fell, and, bumped into the walls, would be the parents’ excuse for this young child’s, injuries…

photo from online

Based off of understanding, the infant male was not yet nine months old, the parents were in their thirties, the infant was their first; the mother was seemingly in a daze, a stay-at-home mother.

The police investigated and found, that two evenings ago, the infant’s father came home, found the young boy injured, and inquired to his wife, she’d replied, “I’d accidentally stepped on his right foot”, they started arguing.

The mother was suspected getting emotional, and in front of the husband, swallowed the pills, and the infant’s father immediately rushed his wife and child to the hospital; the hospital found the infant boy to have multiple bruises all over, contusions, as well as huge surfaces of hematoma on him, that it’d not looked like “being stepped on by accident”, they’d immediately reported to the Social Services, the infant was sent to ICU, with his signs, stabilized, and following, the examinations of his injuries were made.

The Domestic Violence Prevention Center of Social Services in Kaohsiung stated, that they’d sent the social workers to understand if this was a case of child abuse, the family will be listed as individuals of concern first; the child was examined, and they will find out whether or the primary caretaker was abusive, and work with the police, to figure out if this was intentional, or, an accident.

Uh, chances are this is another case of, child abuse, because, you just don’t use that much force, to STEP on a kid by “accident”, and this infant male sustained severe injuries (for an infant that young!), and so, someone needs to be charged here, it’s just, that the police are, still, investigating WHAT exactly happened, to get to the bottom of this, that’s why, no charges were filed at this time…

The Successes or Failure of Importing of Fruits to China, All Relying on the Politics?

How the country’s, politics, is, SCREWING over the livelihoods of the farmers here!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Checks for the Insects Should be Tighter Here, and, We Should, Respect the Laws of the Country Where the Produces are Being Imported into

The fruits grown here, are high in quality, and the sales of them are mostly in the major cities’ markets in China, and, the major cities were, connected by the wholesalers.  During the time of KMT in power of the legislations, the Chinese government was interested in connecting with our governments on setting up the sales fairs of the fruits of Taiwan in the major cities in China, and the fruits grown here started, getting, exported into the Chinese markets.

I’d gone to interview these major wholesales agencies for my research, they collectively believed, that the quality of the fruits grown here are high without a doubt, but, they’d told, that they had, complied to the rules of the party in charge of Chinese politics as well.

Because of the vast market China is, they’d already, imported in the high quality fruits from all over the world, and they’d, traded in the terms of signing of long-term contracts with the sellers, and so, China is not lacking in any kind of fruits grown here in Taiwan.  In other words, there are the selling points for importing the fruits from Taiwan, but, because we only import by singular items, and not year-round, with the unsteady amounts being provided, so it isn’t, that good, a deal.  From our angles, we’re, selling our high quality fruits to China, but for China, it’s, that sense of connection that China felt toward the agricultural products and its, workers too.

This time, the Chinese used the excuses of finding scale insects in the shipments to ban the fruits from being imported.  Based off of the claims of Department of Agriculture, we’d received multiple notices of how the fruits we exported to China didn’t match up to the evaluation of quality standards since June, but China didn’t ban the imports immediately, seemingly, they’re, considering the interactions of the two sides, willing to give Taiwan the rooms for improvement.  But, dragged to two days ago, they’d, banned all imports of fruits, does it mean, that due to prior instances of checks from before, of the harmful insects found in the shipments, China already, ran out of chances to give Taiwan for improvement?

it says here online, that Kazakhstan’s fruits exported to China had increased to 42%…photo from online

Comparing how the country immediately told that we’re going to the WTO to complain, but, compared to how we remained silent, of similar situations from other countries, it’s, such, an, ironic, sharp, contrast; the other countries that used the rule of “business is business” and we’d not objected to their banning the imports of our produces, nor did we say we’re going to the WTO; but, China, who’d been more than lenient to our agricultural produces, once they “get down to business”, demanded a stricter regulation for diseases and insects, we’d, started crying loudly, said that they made it hard for us on purpose.  Don’t know if the consumers, the agricultural wholesalers may think that we’re, overreacting on such too?

Actually, we should, evaluate ourselves with these, frequent bans of imports of goods.  After all, we must, comply with the rules and regulations of the country we’re importing into, and not found an excuse for ourselves.  The truth is, is we’d, done our insect checks thoroughly enough, this sort of things won’t even be happening, whether if the fruits are exported to China, or any other countries around the world.

And, the government’s using this sort of a short-sighted means to resuscitate the situation of agriculture is absolutely necessary, but, the government should not employ this means repeatedly, whether it be leading the people locally, to buy up the fruits or, to allot the funding for the betterment of agriculture.

In the end, after this incident, shouldn’t the government also think on how these past few years to up the international sales of our produces, the organizations such as the “Taiwanese International Agricultural Development Agency” had, served their, purposes, to spread the business around the world internationally.  Anyway, if we can’t tackle the problem itself, and allowed these sorts of things to become, frequently occurring, how can the government answer to the hardworking farmers, as well as we, the taxpayers?

So, this is still all because of politics, from before we were on better terms with China, and they’d, let a lot of things slide, like the checks for the harmful insects and such, and now, we’re no longer on good terms with each other, China tightens up its checks, and, the government here are crying that it’s unfair, and the writer is right, if the country used a stricter method for the checks for insects, to ensure quality control of the shipments overseas, then, this problem wouldn’t have existed, but no, everything is politics related, for this current government that we’re living under right now.  And we the people are still, getting, S-C-R-E-W-E-D over by it!

The Insect-Infestations of Fruits is Only an Excuse, the Real Problem Lies in the Politics

The WAR on exports, had, begun!!!  How China is, banning the fruits exported from here, cutting off the “earning curves” of the fruit farmers here, killing their, livelihood, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

After the pineapples, the bell fruit and the sugar apples were, also, banned by China, reason being that the fruits exported to China was found to have wax scales.  The farmers here couldn’t understand when that shipment was found to have the wax scales, and besides, the export of the sugar apples to China were mostly the variety that’s mixed with pineapples, with the production time of between November and April of each year, so why did the ban come, six months, later?  And, the wax scales are only found on the surfaces of the fruits, and the farmers had rid the fruits of them with the air-compressors when packing.  The farmers believed, that they were merely, scapegoats of the wars between China and Taiwan, it’s still down to the politics.

There is a plantation of the sugar apples in Pingdong in the area of 5,000 acres, with half of pineapple crossed with the sugar apples, and another species of the sugar apples each taking up half.  The other species of sugar apples were from March to September of a year afterwards, sold mostly internally within this country; while the cross of sugar apples with pineapples were mostly exported to China, about 14,000 tons per year, bringing in about $1.2 billion N.T.s, and so, China’s banning the imports would hurt Taidong the hardest.  Although the Agricultural Committee had announced the billion-dollar sustenance for the farmers plans, but, it’d not caused the problems to go away, most of this country’s people liked the other species of sugar apples that’s, less sweet, and the way to resolve this issue is to, sell the cross of pineapple and sugar apples to China.

and this is, more than likely, the end result, both sides, losing…comic from online

I have three recommendations: first, through the communications of the locals, separating politics and agriculture, without the official organizations of Chinese Council Committee here in Taiwan, and the office of Taiwan not in contact enough, and the sea foundations, not interacting much, I recommend that the KMT use the means of local exchanges, through the Communist China’s Central Taiwan Offices to get to the bottom of the reasons, and discuss the matter, based off of the agricultural only, to set up the means to help, to continue exchange agriculturally between the straits.  Second, get a brand new selling market in other countries: there’s such a higher risk to one solitary market, the Agricultural Committee should help the farmers develop the freezing techniques for the produces, and expand the market to Japan, Korea, as well as, southeast Asia as well, to even Canada and the U.S.  Third, strengthening the upgrades of agriculture: agriculture should NOT be the produces, but the processed foods, turning the fruits into food, to NOT get affected by the expiration, that way, the agriculture value will, increase.

And so, the farmers are now, the ones, caught in the war between Taiwan and China, and, this would be, such, a huge hit, as this particular species of the fruits is meant to export to China, where it’s, quite popular, but now, because Taiwan hit China first, and China’s now, hitting Taiwan back, and, we the people, are still, the ones, with the, shortest ends of, that STICK!
