The State Council Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference. A reporter asked about Shanghai residents traveling to Kinmen and Matsu. Recently, the Secretary-General of the SEF stated that the SEF is ready to wait for the mainland to come at any time, to negotiate in detail on the entry regulations for Shanghai residents entering Kinmen and Matsu. What is the spokesperson's comment on this? Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said that the resumption of Shanghai residents traveling to Kinmen and Matsu is in line with the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan that seeks peace, development, communication, and cooperation. The mainland will actively respond to the expectations and calls of the people and tourism industry in Taiwan and continue to promote relevant work. The key now is whether the DPP authorities can face up to the mainstream public opinion and industry calls in Taiwan, to create favorable conditions for cross-strait personnel exchanges and cooperation. As for the exchanges between the two sides of the strait, it is well known that the DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to the "Taiwan independence" separatist position, refuse to recognize the "1992 Consensus", unilaterally destroy the political foundation of cross-strait dialogue and negotiations, leading to a halt in cross-strait dialogue and negotiations. Therefore, only by recognizing the "1992 Consensus" can the two sides of the strait reach a solution to the country's internal affairs through dialogue and negotiation.
