The entire incident was caught on cam and the results are just horrible.
President Tsai Ing-wen’s administration lifted a longstanding ban on imports of U.S. pork and beef in August.
Many saw the move as one of the first steps towards a bilateral trade agreement with the United States of America.
It is believed that the ban will be lifted in January of 2021.
The new policy allows the import of pork with residues of ractopamine, a type of drug that some farmers use in order to promote the growth of lean meat.
Thousands of people in Taipei protested the imports on Sunday this week.
