Taiwan Bans Some U.S. Beef

Taiwan has decided to reimpose a partial ban on U.S. beef. The ban extends to minced beef, cow offal (?), and all beef from cattle over 30 months old. The ban is imposed under a health and sanitation law, which I suppose makes it legal under international rules. The U.S. is not happy, claiming that the ban isn't based on scientific evidence and in fact may be illegal under international treaties in place.
