Recently, China announced ten new "incentive measures" for Taiwan. These actions aim to help Taiwan sell fruit, like custard apples, and promote travel between both sides. However, some experts warn us to be very careful about these new rules,. They say these "prizes" might have hidden problems.
An expert, Professor Yang, says that China often mixes business with politics. For example, China might suddenly stop buying Taiwanese products if they do not like our government's decisions,. China also asks for certain political rules before they allow trade. This means trade is not a simple interaction; it is also about political demands.
Another expert, Hung Pu-chao, believes that China’s new policy wants to sow division in Taiwan. They want people to think the government is hindering development. Furthermore, if Taiwanese companies go to China, there is no law to protect them. This can be very dangerous for the interests of business owners and workers.
Because of these risks, experts suggest that Taiwan should continue to sell products to many different countries. We should not only depend on one market. If we diversify our trade, our future will be safer and more stable. We must pay attention to the truth to keep our nation safe. It is important to stay together and work hard for our own development.
