Lu said that during the previous KMT administration lead by president Ma Ying-jeou, the origin of production label was not so closely monitored and "Taiwan, China" was fine.

Dadeng Island (大嶝岛) In 1988, I was so entranced by my Chinese-English dictionary's 'model English sentences' that I read it cover to cover twice! (Read some of them on page 218). For example, how would you use the word "suppose?" The dictionary suggested, "I suppose she's gone to practice grenade throwing again." What a hot date she'd make! But after visiting Dadeng Island's Cross-Straits Conflict Museum, I understood what got China's lassies hot under the collar.

Located in the southeast waters off Xiamen's Xiang'an district, Dadeng island is one of the closest mainland territories to Taiwan's Jinmen county.

[...]Another must-do on Dadeng island is to visit the duty-free market that sells food and daily necessities from Taiwan.
