Taiwan farmers feel the squeeze as mainland China import bans following Pelosi trip sink in

Fruit and fish farmers in Taiwan are beginning to feel the squeeze from a slew of import bans imposed by mainland China following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the self-ruled island in August 2022. Beijing considers the island a renegade province to be reunited by force if necessary. It warns against official ties with Taiwan, which most countries don’t recognise as a sovereign state. The US says it abides by the one-China policy, but opposes moves to take Taiwan by force.
