On the morning of April 1st, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference. A journalist asked about reports from Taiwan media that Chen Fuhai, the county mayor of Kinmen, recently led a delegation to visit the Taiwan Affairs Office to explain issues such as "increasing flights for the small three links" and "expanding diverse sources of tourists", hoping that the Democratic Progressive Party government could understand the needs of Kinmen and support its economic prosperity. What are your comments on this? The spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office, Zhang Han, responded: The "small three links" route is one of the most important and convenient channels for exchanges between the people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, especially between Fujian and Taiwan. It has played an important role in deepening the integration and development of both sides and promoting the well-being of the people from both sides. People from both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family. We welcome Taiwanese compatriots to visit the mainland through the "small three links" route to explore, trace their roots, visit relatives, and engage in exchanges and cooperation. The mainland has always upheld the concept of "one family on both sides of the strait" and has been continuously making efforts and showing goodwill to promote exchanges and cooperation in various fields such as personnel exchanges and tourism between the two sides. We will continue to promote work related to mainland residents traveling to Kinmen for tourism, actively responding to the expectations and calls of the Taiwanese people and the tourism industry.
