China is contemplating further trade measures against Taiwan, according to a recent announcement from the Ministry of Commerce. This development comes in the wake of a speech by Taiwan President Lai Ching-Te that drew criticism from Beijing.

In a statement published on Saturday, the Ministry highlighted that Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party has yet to implement practical measures to remove so-called 'trade restrictions' on mainland China.

The Ministry added that relevant departments are now investigating Taiwan's trade barriers and considering additional steps based on their findings.
