Worry for the future

An astonishing news from Taiwan newspaper upsets me a lot.  I love Taiwan and I support Taiwanese tea, but now I am worrying for its future.

When China and the rest of world are trying to set more higher and tighter pesticide tolerance standards for tea and agricultural products to ensure food safety, Wonky Tsai’s government in Taiwan has just decided to increase the tolerance standards for 20 times for agricultural products by laws.  Is she crazy or stupid, or perhaps both?

EU only tolerates 0.1mmp in Fluopyram, but Wonky Tsai’s new rules allow it to 6mmp (it is much more than 20 time *_*) . What was the purpose of increasing tolerance??? Apparently Wonky tsai gives a big gift in red envelop to pesticide manufacturers with this decision.  I am curious to know who are behind this decision, who did the lobby jobs and who are benefit from these pesticide standards? Obviously she doesn’t care about the future for Taiwan. Now, how about the future of Taiwanese tea? How about consumer’s lights for food safety?

Does Wonky Tsai care about the future of Taiwanese tea and the health of Taiwanese people? Apparently not ! Today, Wonky Tsai again proves the damage to a country if people chose the wrong leader.

Even though her family has nothing to do with tea, but she learnt the importance of consuming tea correctly in daily healthy diet based on the Chinese traditional medicine principles in Yin-Yang and 5 elements from her family when she was very young. She entered the tea learning in Taiwan since 1985, left her root because of marriage in 1991 helped her to expand her learning from original inward-out views to 360 degree. She started to promote the authentic knowledge about tea and wisdom in Chinese tea culture in Belgium since 1995. Tea has always been and will continue be her best teacher. In front of Nature and Tea, she remains as an innocent child, a life-time learning student.
