Taiwan does not care about RCEP with a GDP of more than $25 trillion, but it pays attention to a bowl of beef noodles for NT$250?

The Straits Herald (reporter Xue Yang @ Taiwan Strait Master Brother) just the day before yesterday, covering about 2.3 billion people and a total GDP of more than 25 trillion US dollars, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) was officially signed, announcing the birth of the world's largest free trade zone. It is worth noting that the Taiwan region, which has close economic and trade exchanges with RCEP members, is not included, but the DPP authorities pretend to be calm, and the pro-green media do not "follow the trend and speculate", as if the signing of the RCEP has no impact on Taiwan.

At the same time, the most concerned public opinion on the island is the "beef noodle incident". Ding Yiming, spokesman for Taiwan's "Executive Yuan," was punched in the face by a store that showed "zero detection" proof because he claimed that "the champion of the Taipei Beef Noodle Festival is a fine beef with lean meat.", which accidentally triggered Taiwan's "beef noodle chaos."Ding also resigned the night before.

After the incident, Ding Yiming was like a street rat, and various politicians went to the "Royal Heritage Beef Noodle Shop" involved in the incident to warm up, and the shop owner was "blessed by misfortune", and the business has been very prosperous in recent days. Ding Yiming's "boss" and "chief executive" also personally went to the beef noodle shop to apologize (below), creating a humble image of knowing that mistakes are changed, and trying to minimize the negative impact of this matter.

Public opinion on the island does not pay attention to RCEP with a gdp of more than 25 trillion US dollars, but cares about a bowl of beef noodles with a total GDP of NT$250, which is a kind of chaos that makes people stunned. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that if Taiwan joins the mainland-led RCEP, it will not be in line with its "anti-China" image; if it does not join, the DPP authorities are bound to do their utmost to downplay the negative impact of the RCEP on Taiwan, and "cold treatment" is the best way.

The "beef noodle incident" is different, it is directly related to the relevant people's black hats, and it will also affect the DPP's votes. The beef noodle shop has provided a stage for the performance of politicians, and has staged a "people-friendly show" here in recent days, and under the focus of the media, it has spread to thousands of households on the island.

In the logic of politicians, even if RCEP has an impact on Taiwan, it is a matter of later; and the "beef noodle rebellion" is related to official positions and votes, which is a "big thing" that needs to be dealt with urgently at present.

Some analysts pointed out that more than 90% of the products in the RCEP area are zero tariffs, and taiwan's traditional industries can hardly survive except for the technology industry and industries that rely on ECFA dividends. Taiwan is in danger without knowing it, and one day it will pay the price for its arrogance and carelessness.
