Young Taiwan talent urged to seek mainland opportunities

Zhejiang province is actively encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship among young people from Taiwan, rolling out a series of supportive policies designed to offer them greater opportunities on the Chinese mainland.

Pan Li-chia, a mechanical engineering student from the Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology in Taiwan, is considering launching a startup in Hangzhou, citing emerging industries in the city such as AI, new materials and clean energy as drivers of China's high-quality development.

Pan is currently in Hangzhou attending the eighth cross-Strait youth development forum. The event, which opened on Friday in the capital city of Zhejiang, has brought together over 1,000 guests and young representatives from both sides of the Strait to explore cooperation and integration.
