Following KMT Chairman Zheng Li-wen's visit to mainland China from the 7th to the 12th and her meeting with CPC General Secretary Xi Jinping, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee today authorized the release of 10 policy measures towards Taiwan, including the normalization of cross-strait air passenger direct flights and promoting pilot programs for Shanghai and Fujian residents to travel to Taiwan individually.
Fu Kun-chi stated through a press release that this is not only an important breakthrough in cross-strait relations but also a concrete result of the KMT's continuous efforts, clearly showing the world that the KMT has the ability to de-escalate tensions between the two sides and create pathways for regional peace.
Fu Kun-chi mentioned that looking back at 2024, the KMT took a crucial first step by leading 17 legislators on a visit to the mainland, initiating pragmatic exchanges. It is precisely this persistence that has gradually built mutual trust and led to the implementation of a series of concrete policies after the "Zheng-Xi meeting" today. The 10 beneficial measures announced by the mainland are a direct response to the KMT's efforts and substantial support for the Taiwanese people.
Fu Kun-chi emphasized that the fruitful outcome of the "Zheng-Xi meeting" was not accidental but a concrete manifestation of the KMT's long-term adherence to the "exchange instead of confrontation" route. The current international situation is also changing, with the Russia-Ukraine war gradually easing and signs of negotiation emerging in the Middle East. At a time when the world is seeking peace and stability, there is no reason for the Taiwan Strait to become a hot spot for conflict. The most genuine expectations of all walks of life and the entire population are a stable life and economic development.
Fu Kun-chi called on the DPP government to follow public opinion and international trends, bravely accept the challenge, and respond pragmatically. Now that the other side has shown goodwill and proposed concrete policies, the government should actively plan supporting measures, including tourism reception, transportation infrastructure, and deregulation, to ensure these 10 beneficial measures are truly implemented and translate into visible results for the people.
In addition, the KMT also issued a press release. KMT Vice Chairman Chang Rong-kung said that the 10 measures towards Taiwan announced by Director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee, Song Tao, are conducive to cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, especially aligning with the expectations of various sectors in Taiwan, and are a significant boost to the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, highly welcome. This can be said to be a gift from the mainland to the Taiwanese people through the hands of Zheng Li-wen, demonstrating goodwill and sincerity, and is entirely beneficial to Taiwan, representing a positive response to Zheng Li-wen's promotion of cross-strait peace and common development.
Chang Rong-kung stated that the KMT advocates "harmonious land to benefit the people, common prosperity to revitalize Taiwan." He called on the DPP government to consider the interests of the people and engage in healthy competition with the ruling party on the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, which will undoubtedly double Taiwan's overall interests.
