Taiwan mediation center established

A district in Xiamen, Fujian province, established a Taiwan-related dispute resolution center on May 31 to better serve Taiwan compatriots living there.

Staffed by Taiwan compatriots, it is the first of its kind in Fujian. In addition to mediating Taiwan-related disputes, the center will also provide legal consultation, notarization and legal education services. The mediators are primarily Taiwan assistants from the community with extensive grassroots mediation experience.

"They are better able to understand the psychological needs of Taiwan compatriots, allowing them to mediate disputes more effectively and practically," said Fang Xuming, the head of Huli district's Taiwan Affairs Office.
