“Our job is to do fish farming,” Chen told Reuters. “We only hope that once the fish grow bigger, we will sell them.” The bans were widely seen as retaliation against Taiwan for allowing the visit, which prompted China to launch unprecedented military exercises around the island. China described Pelosi’s visit as a provocation that undermines its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

China also banned imports of sand — used to make concrete — and suspended shipments from 35 Taiwanese exporters of biscuits and pastries.
