State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: measures that are conducive to promoting cross-strait exchanges and cooperation will be fully implemented.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. A journalist asked: We noticed that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced the recent resumption of Shanghai residents' tourism to Kinmen and Matsu, but the Mainland Affairs Council stated that they do not regard this relaxation as a favor. What is the comment of the Taiwan Affairs Office on this? Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said, we uphold the concept of "both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family", and we will actively promote and facilitate any measures that are beneficial to promoting cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and enhancing the interests and well-being of compatriots. The remarks of the Mainland Affairs Council completely ignore the well-being of the people of Taiwan. We hope that they will stop political manipulation and sincerely respond to the people's expectations, take practical actions to remove various restrictions that affect cross-strait exchanges and interactions.
