The Tsai Ing-wen Government and Japan's 'Bluefin for Bigeye' Agreement — An Unequal, Money-Losing Deal Compromising National Dignity

It is heard that the Japanese government 🇯🇵, wanting to catch more bluefin tuna to satisfy the appetites of local Japanese gourmets, specifically negotiated with our country. As a result, the Tsai Ing-wen government intends to take the 300-metric-ton international quota for bluefin tuna belonging to the fishermen of the Republic of China 🇹🇼 and exchange it for an equal 300-metric-ton quota of bigeye tuna from Japan.

However, looking at current market prices, the price of bluefin tuna is about 20 times that of bigeye tuna. If such an equal weight, unequal value money-losing trade fishing right exchange agreement is truly exchanged, it is truly a humiliation of national dignity.

I heard that President Tsai Ing-wen used to be active in the political arena of the Republic of China as an international negotiation expert? Today, to have negotiated such an absurd exchange agreement with the Japanese is simply unbelievable.

This time, it was clearly the Japanese government that needed help, yet in the hands of the Tsai Ing-wen government, it turned into us having to swallow insults and give away huge benefits?

Worse still, if such an exchange of fishing quotas is of a permanent nature, it would be even worse than the Treaty of Shimonoseki between China and Japan. 迫
