Deputies to the 14th National People's Congress from Fujian province have shared their experiences and suggestions on enhancing cultural exchanges between Fujian and Taiwan to foster stronger ties across the Taiwan Strait.
Wang Jinzu, secretary of the Communist Party of China Zhangzhou city committee, said Fujian, which "shares the same root and the same blood" with Taiwan, has the closest ties to the island among all mainland provinces.
The dialect, culture and customs in Zhangzhou, a city in southern Fujian, are similar to those in Taiwan, and many residents in both places share common ancestry, Wang said.
