China Resumes Ties with Taiwan

China Resumes Ties with Taiwan

The 10-point policy package includes easing travel restrictions for individuals and facilitating the sale of Taiwanese food products on the mainland.

This diplomatic shift follows a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and KMT leader Cheng Li-wun.

While Beijing continues to reject official contact with Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party, these measures aim to strengthen cross-strait economic and cultural ties.

U.S. diplomats have urged China to abandon military pressure and engage in direct dialogue with the island's elected leadership.
