Taiwan fights back against Chinese curbs on the export of their fruit - with plenty of support.
Graham Watson's insight:
Scarcely the "mother of all wars", to quote Saddam Hussain, but something akin to it, as China and Taiwan have embarked on a trade war over pineapples.
China has banned the import of Taiwanese pineapples on health and safety grounds, claiming that the pineapples have brought "hamrful creatures" into China, something the Taiwanese deny. As a result, the Taiwanese government have gone on the offensive, looking to encourage the export of pineapples elsewhere and increased domestic consumption. It is difficult to see a winner here.
