TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The business of an ice store in Cishah District (旗山), Kaohsiung was brisker on Sunday (March 31) after the store posted a statement on Facebook bashing Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kou-yu (韓國瑜) for visiting China.
During a recent visit to China, Han voiced his strong support for the “1992 Consensus” in meetings with Chinese officials.
Charng Mei Ice Store (常美冰店) posted a statement on March 26, saying, “As a small store in the Kaohsiung countryside, [we] don’t want to become Chinese now or in the future, and we are very sorry to have a mayor who went to call on the Chinese dynasty and was all smiles.”
In response, Han said during an interview that he totally respected the store’s position, but asked the boss of the store not to misunderstand him, saying, “I was there only to sell Kaohsiung products,” Central News Agency (CNA) reported. [FULL STORY]
