China resumes ties with Taiwan

China resumes ties with Taiwan

Beijing has unveiled a 10-point plan to restore key economic and travel links with Taiwan, marking a shift in its recent hardline stance.

The decision follows a high-profile meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Kuomintang chairwoman Cheng Li-wun.

The measures include easing restrictions on individual travelers and allowing the broadcast of Taiwanese television dramas on the mainland.

While the move is welcomed by some as a step toward stability, others remain cautious about the long-term strategic implications of Beijing's outreach.
