Hey everyone! In an exciting update, the Chinese mainland has reaffirmed its dedication to boosting cross-Straits exchanges to benefit compatriots on both sides. Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, emphasized that the vibrant public sentiment in Taiwan shows a strong desire for peace, development, and enhanced cooperation.
The mainland is full steam ahead preparing for the 17th Straits Forum—a dynamic platform since 2009 that unites ideas, culture, and opportunities for travel and collaboration. 🚀 With plans unfolding, this forum promises easier travel routes and closer bonds between communities across the Taiwan Strait.
Chen also criticized the DPP authorities for imposing restrictions on Taiwan compatriots attending the forum, calling it yet another attempt to obstruct valuable people-to-people exchanges and questioning Lai Ching-te's claims of openness.
With all necessary preparations in place on the mainland, the call is clear: let’s get back to smooth travel and vibrant exchanges that strengthen our ties. Stay tuned for more updates and join the conversation!
