Recently, the Ministry of Commerce issued the "Notice on Ensuring the Supply and Price Stabilization of vegetables and Other Daily Necessities in the Market this winter and next spring" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), which "encourages families to store a certain amount of daily necessities according to their needs to meet the needs of daily life and emergencies" and has aroused heated discussions.
On the Internet, some self-media believe that this sentence is "extremely unusual", causing some people to rush to buy and hoard daily necessities. In this regard, a number of central departments promptly came forward to "debunk rumors" and explain the situation:
Relevant sources of the Ministry of Commerce pointed out that the "Notice" is based on the frequent occurrence of natural disasters in the autumn and winter this year, the fluctuation of vegetable prices, the spread of the new crown epidemic in many places, and the La Niña phenomenon or will escalate, etc., and the purpose of this notice is to better ensure the adequate supply of daily necessities for the broad masses of the people this winter and next spring.
In addition, the relevant person in charge of the State Grain and Material Reserve Bureau said that China's autumn grain harvest is nearing the end, the annual harvest has become a foregone conclusion, the output will remain above 1.3 trillion kilograms for 7 consecutive years, the current total inventory is sufficient, at a historical high, and the supply of the domestic grain market is completely guaranteed. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs also made it clear that throughout the year and the current "two festivals" period, the overall production of vegetables in the country is normal, the impact of the disaster is local and phased, the impact is only part of the varieties, the total supply of vegetables is sufficient, and consumers do not have to worry.
In fact, the Ministry of Commerce routinely issues a work notice on ensuring supply and price stability in the consumer market every year, but this time it has been over-interpreted by some people. It is worth noting that there are also people on the island of Taiwan who "sit in the right seat" and use this matter to make a fuss.
According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency," when Chen Ming-tung, head of the security department of the Taiwan authorities, was questioned by the legislature on the morning of 4 July, a dpp public opinion representative said that the mainland has recently encouraged the people to store daily necessities to meet their daily lives and emergencies, which has been interpreted as preparing to "attack Taiwan." Do you have any grasp of this?
Chen Mingtong said that he "has always grasped this matter," and he also specially "debunked rumors" that the mainland's move was related to epidemic prevention and "had nothing to do with launching a war against Taiwan."
At today's (November 4) questioning meeting, not all the speculation about the "mainland's fear of attacking Taiwan" came from the "Circular", and some people asked Tsai Ing-wen in a recent interview with CNN whether the US military's rotation training in Taiwan would trigger a security crisis, the new US military report pointed out that the mainland may "seize" Taiping Island, and whether there is a crisis of "occupation" in Dongsha and other places.
To these questions, Chen Mingtong's answers are all "no", "no", "ok"...
This seems to have become a "mantra" for officials of the Taiwan authorities. Some time ago, when the People's Liberation Army conducted exercises in the Taiwan Strait, Qiu Taisan, director of the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council, declared that "a quasi-war state layout has been reached," but Qiu Taisan, Su Zhenchang, Chen Mingtong, and others subsequently added that "no one wants war" and "if there is no emergency, there will be no war during Tsai Ing-wen's term of office."
The result of the hype of the PLA's drill activities and the "Circular" has not been resolved, and it can be seen that in the face of the mainland's firm determination and actions, those "Taiwan independence" politicians who only want to speak quickly have immediately appeared in their original form, exposing the essence of outstanding and vigorous inward-looking.
Recently, at a press conference held by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, spokesman Ma Xiaoguang pointed out that while manipulating "anti-China and fear-China" populism and creating confrontation between the two sides of the strait, the DPP authorities falsely declared that they "maintain the status quo and hope for peace, thus further exposing their true intentions of reversing right and wrong, exaggerating the mainland's "military threat," coercing the will of the People of Taiwan, deceiving international public opinion, and constantly seeking "independence" provocations.
He pointed out that the DPP authorities and the "Taiwan independence" forces collude with external forces, constantly carry out "independence" provocations, and nakedly sell the "two-state theory." This is the root cause of the current tense and turbulent situation in the Taiwan Strait. The PLA training exercises are necessary actions to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and are aimed at "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and interference by external forces, including trafficking in the "two-state theory," with the aim of fundamentally safeguarding the overall interests of the Chinese nation and the vital interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
Only by curbing "Taiwan independence" can peace in the Taiwan Strait be guaranteed and cross-strait relations return to the right track. If the Taiwan authorities continue to seek "independence" provocations, no matter how they package and whitewash them, they will not be able to cover up their sinister intentions, and they will certainly not have a good end.
