China offers incentives to Taiwan following opposition leader's visit
The package includes easier travel, broader media access and looser food inspections, while linking some benefits to opposition to Taiwan independence.
- On Sunday, China announced 10 new incentive measures for Taiwan, including easing tourist curbs and facilitating food sales, following a visit by Kuomintang chairwoman Cheng Li-wun.
- These developments follow Cheng's recent trip to Beijing, where she met Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss the need for peace and reconciliation between the two sides.
- The measures "explore" communication between the KMT and the Communist Party, while permitting Taiwanese TV content with "correct orientation, healthy content, and high production quality," according to Xinhua.
- Easing food inspection standards depends on the foundation of "opposing Taiwan independence," the agency said, though Taiwan's government offered no immediate reaction to the announcement.
- Beijing continues to label Taiwan President Lai Ching-te a "separatist," refusing direct talks with him while rejecting his sovereignty claims over the democratically governed island.
