Policy to help promote cross-Strait relations

The Communist Party of China is maintaining its strategic dominance in steering cross-Strait relations by rolling out a policy promoting integrated development of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, thus laying the foundation for future reunification, experts said.

China will make Fujian province, which faces the island of Taiwan across the sea, a demonstration zone for the integrated development across the Taiwan Strait, according to a circular released earlier this month by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council.

The move is aimed at deepening cross-Strait integrated development and advancing the peaceful reunification of the motherland, with measures in place to offer Taiwan people the same treatment as local residents in Fujian.
