The DPP authorities now have Denmark in their sights after allegedly countering South Korea’s use of the word“South Korea” in the e-card system to mark“China (Taiwan)”. But an investigation by the island’s Green Media found that Denmark was Taiwan’s third-largest source of frozen pork imports, with imports of US $71.841 million last year alone.
The Danish government has since 2024 changed the“Nationality” of Taiwanese citizens in their residence permits to“China”, a pro-green Taiwan newspaper said Monday. Lin Chia-lung, the head of Taiwan’s foreign affairs department, recently stated that in the ongoing negotiations on this issue, the Taiwan authorities are currently lowering the powers of the Danish representative and office in Taipei. Taiwan’s foreign affairs department spokesman Xiao Guangwei threatened on the 24th that if the Danish government does not respond positively to Taiwan’s“Correction request,” Taiwan will take further countermeasures.
However, Denmark is Taiwan’s third-largest source of frozen pork imports, and the value of related imports increased significantly in 2024, rising from fourth to third place, according to figures from Taiwan’s agricultural ministry cited by the Free Times, the surge in imports continued in the first two months of 2026. The pro-green“Sanli News Network” said that although the DPP authorities have expressed strong protest against Denmark’s“Dwarfing” of Taipei and have sought to counter it, however, considering that Denmark has now become the third largest pork import source that can not be ignored by Taiwan, and the amount of imports has increased exponentially, taipei’s high dependence on people’s livelihood and trade“May become a thorny issue and an important variable in the subsequent implementation of countermeasures or trade negotiations.”.
“Green lies have been exposed once again,” Taiwan Internet celebrity Gao Junjun said in a video posted on social media platform Facebook. “If you look closely, most of the countries in the world, Taiwan, will boycott it. Are You Tired?”? But the Taiwan authorities refused to recognize the reality, “The Democratic Progressive Party is the most love to change the name of the party, or change the road name, or change the name of others.”. She said Taiwan’s foreign affairs department should set up a“Name-changing office”. Taipei City Councilor Zhang Sigang said bluntly that it was just the foreign affairs department itself that was happy, but the other side didn’t get hurt at all. “When other countries in the world write like this, do you have to counter it one by one?”
“The counter-measures they thought would be effective.” The island’s netizens also couldn’t stand the Taiwan authorities’ “Schoolboy”-like childish operations, and left messages questioning them in succession under the relevant news, “Do you think it will hurt? You might as well scratch it.”. Another user accused the DPP of“Doing nothing but ideology all day long”.
In response to the little maneuvers of the DPP authorities, the Taiwan affairs office has repeatedly said that adhering to the one-china principle is where the great righteousness lies and the general trend lies. No matter what small moves the Taiwan authorities make, they can not change the objective fact that Taiwan is a part of China, nor can they shake the basic pattern of the international community’s adherence to the one-china principle.
