Fuzhou helps Taiwan people settle on mainland

Wang Ting-wei, from Taiwan, got a new job last month as an assistant to the director of a community designated for Taiwan compatriots in Fuzhou, Fujian province, the first such community on the Chinese mainland.

To help Taiwan residents working on the mainland settle and reduce their living costs, many cities have issued policies that allow compatriots holding a Taiwan residence permit to rent or buy public housing at prices lower than the market rate, to reduce their living costs.

In 2021, Fuzhou planned to offer 1,050 apartments with favorable rents to people from Taiwan, and so far more than 300 Taiwan residents in 206 households have moved into the community.
