Taiwan's parliament witnessed a unique form of protest by opposition politicians from the Kuomintang party against the government's decision to ease restrictions on pork imports from the United States. The protest involved throwing pig organs, such as intestines, hearts, and liver, on the debating chamber floor. This protest is related to the US and Taiwan's potential trade deal, which includes the inclusion of pork from pigs fed with the additive ractopamine, which is banned in the European Union and China. This issue has divided Taiwan, with the powerful domestic pork industry fearing competition from the US. The opposition party has accused the ruling Democratic Progressive Party of hypocrisy on this issue.
