China will continue helping Taiwan’s agricultural and fish products enter the mainland market, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, said at a news conference on October 28.
In April, the Central Taiwan Affairs Office announced ten measures to promote exchanges and cooperation across the Taiwan Strait. They include facilitating imports of Taiwan products that meet inspection and quarantine standards, supporting their participation in mainland trade fairs and matchmaking events, and studying ways to facilitate mainland sales of fish caught by Taiwan’s distant-water fishing vessels.
Over the past six months, relevant parties have held meetings to arrange agreements, streamlined customs procedures and supported participation in exhibitions. Chen said the measures were being advanced on the political basis of adhering to the 1992 Consensus and opposing Taiwan independence.
