In that article, it stated that China bans food and other items from Taiwan..

Errr.. have you notice that article is from a reporter who works for US-based CNBC?  Guess which side the story you will be reading ? 

Does it not surprise you that the CNBC reporter forget to remind readers that since Taiwan province food safety regulation falls under Mainland China's law, the Chinese has the power to control decide import based on Chinese law.

This explains why China’s Customs has the authority to suspension of TW fruit and fish imports which was found to have excessive pesticide residue detected “multiple times” on products since last year, as well as on some frozen fish packages that tested positive for coronavirus in June.
