State Council Taiwan Affairs Office: Hope that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities will lift the restrictions on cross-strait exchanges, including tourism.

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council holds a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Recently, the British Financial Times published an article titled "Let Mainland Chinese Tourists Return to Taiwan", which has caused a resonance in the tourism industry in Taiwan. What are your comments on this? Spokesperson Zhang Han stated that we are actively promoting cross-strait tourism exchanges and cooperation, and the goodwill and sincerity we have shown are obvious to all. We will actively promote and work hard to facilitate any measures that are beneficial to cross-strait exchanges and cooperation and enhance the well-being of compatriots. We hope that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities will respond to public opinion, face up to the well-being of the people of Taiwan, and take practical actions to lift various restrictions on cross-strait exchanges, including tourism.
