The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a routine press conference. In response to questions about Shanghai residents traveling to Kinmen and Matsu, spokesperson Chen Binhua stated that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism had announced on February 4 that Shanghai residents will be allowed to travel to Kinmen and Matsu. We have always supported the normalization of cross-strait personnel exchanges and the normalization of exchanges and cooperation in various fields, including tourism. The DPP authority has been obstructing this with various excuses. The DPP should respond to the eager expectations of the people of Taiwan and the tourism industry, change their unacceptable practices soon, and make the correct decision.
