Not so sweet!
A little before Pelosi touched down in Taiwan, China suspended imports from hundreds of Taiwanese food factories, including biscuits and pastries.
The Taipei-based United Daily News reported that the ban was imposed on Monday night.
Biscuits and pastries are important trading items between Taiwan and China, including Hong Kong.
About two thirds of exports from Taiwan in 2021 were biscuits and pastries, with a total value of $646 million, Taiwanese media reports. In 2020, the value reached $660 million, accounting for 37 per cent of the total export.
In addition to the suspension of biscuit and pastries from Taiwan, China has also suspended some citrus fruit as well as fish imports — such as chilled white striped hairtail and frozen horse mackerel — from the island nation.
China defended their import of citrus fruits alleging ‘repeated’ detection of excessive pesticide residue.
