This article is a strong critique of how Democratic Progressive Party legislators on December 24, 2020, took advantage of their numerical superiority to forcefully pass the case for importing U.S. pork containing ractopamine (lean meat agent). The author questions why these 'ractopamine legislators' can ignore public opinion, follow party directives, and take actions that harm public health, increase food safety risks, and are detrimental to the nation through 'loss of sovereignty clauses.'
A short piece presented as a meme, strongly criticizing the decision of the Tsai Ing-wen and Su Tseng-chang DPP government to open imports of pork containing ractopamine. The author satirizes the government's double standard: while banning ractopamine in domestic pork, they require Taiwanese people to eat imported ractopamine pork, sacrificing public health for vague international relations. It criticizes the government for shouting 'people are the masters' before the election, only to treat them 'worse than pigs and dogs' after winning.
The article reports that Premier Su Tseng-chang mistakenly mentioned during a Legislative Yuan inquiry that Pingtung's Singskout Meat 'very much supported' ractopamine pork and noted its owner was a KMT Central Standing Committee member. Singskout Meat immediately issued a statement refuting this, emphasizing their firm opposition to ractopamine pork imports. However, shortly after the statement, the Pingtung Fire Department showed up for an inspection, leading the KMT to question if this was a retaliatory 'Checking the Water Meter' action by the government. Although the Fire Department clarified it was a routine inspection, the event highlights the sensitivity of interactions between enterprises and the government on sensitive political issues.

The DPP shows double standards again by opening imports of lean meat agents (ractopamine, commonly known as ractopamine pork) to Taiwan. We specially designed a meme titled 'Democratic Mother-enters Ractopamine Democratic Party Pig' to criticize the Tsai Ing-wen and Su Chen-chang government's decision to allow ractopamine-containing American pork, while satirizing DPP supporters (green-brains) for blindly supporting and consuming ractopamine pork.
This article comments on the series of troubles faced by 'Royal Heritage Beef Noodles' after winning the beef noodle championship. Following public accusations by Executive Yuan spokesperson Ding Yi-ming that the shop used US beef containing ractopamine, the author satirically describes the shop as experiencing 'mercury retrograde' and 'unforeseen disasters.' It notes that after the shop proved zero detection, Premier Su Tseng-chang pulled the owner's father into a staged show, followed by a sudden inspection of their factory. The piece compares this to fighting a 'giant evil,' warning that the outcome could be like CTI News, and ends with a satirical call to 'recharge Taiwan value.'
Analyzes the heated debates and protests in the Legislative Yuan regarding the import of Ractopamine-treated US pork, focusing on food safety, national sovereignty, and political inconsistency.
This article compares the KMT and DPP's treatment of the Taiwanese people. The author argues that the KMT's past human rights violations (the 228 Incident and martial law) were a 'historical inevitability' of the post-war era, noting that the actual number of victims was around one thousand and included Communist spies. The author strongly questions why Taiwan independence green-brained supporters criticize the KMT's human rights record while remaining silent about the Japanese massacre of over 400,000 Taiwanese during the Japanese occupation era. The author contends that the DPP treats its own people well 'guaranteed,' but on international issues, uses examples like importing ractopamine-laced American pork, Japanese nuclear-contaminated food, and not daring to claim sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands to argue that the DPP is not truly good to the Taiwanese people.
This article delves into the controversy surrounding the Democratic Progressive Party's stance on ractopamine, examining the implications for Taiwan's legislative process and public health.
