The Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Supporting Fujian in Exploring New Paths for Cross Strait Integration and Development and Building Demonstration Zones for Cross Strait Integration and Development have been publicly announced. On the morning of September 14th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference, where Pan Xianzhang, Deputy Director of the Central Taiwan Affairs Office, Cong Liang, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Luo Dongchuan, Deputy Secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, introduced the relevant information on the Opinion.

One is to take greater steps in promoting full connectivity between Fujian and Taiwan. In recent years, we have solidly promoted the connectivity of water, electricity, ventilation, and bridges in the coastal areas of Jinmen and Mazutong in Fujian. The Opinion further proposes to promote the connectivity of infrastructure between Fujian and Taiwan, explore the cooperation model between Xiamen and Taiwan in infrastructure construction, support the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone in accelerating the construction of a comprehensive opening-up pattern to Taiwan, encourage industry, academia, research and enterprises on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to jointly formulate industry common standards and other series of policy measures, making it more convenient for Taiwanese compatriots and businessmen to travel to Fujian and develop more smoothly in Fujian.

The second is to take greater steps in implementing benefits for Taiwan and the people. The Opinion fully absorbs the effective policy measures that have been implemented in recent years, and based on Fujian, introduces greater and more open equal treatment policies, such as the opinion to relax special measures for market access; Expand the scope of direct recognition of professional qualifications in Taiwan; To provide more convenience for Taiwanese farmers and fishermen in land use, financing, and expanding domestic markets; Support residents of Jinmen and Mazu to enjoy equal treatment as local residents in Xiamen and Fuzhou; The pilot program allows Taiwanese businesses to invest in establishing broadcasting and television program production and operation companies in Fujian. In one sentence, it is to encourage Taiwanese compatriots to "be willing to come, stay, integrate, and develop well.".

The third is to take greater steps in deepening civil exchanges. Fujian and Taiwan have deep connections in terms of kinship, hometown, marriage, and folk beliefs. The Opinion further proposes to leverage the advantages of the main ancestral areas of Taiwanese in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou's Minnan speaking areas, build a world Minnan cultural exchange center, and carry out integrated development practices with Penghu; Support Longyan and Sanming to leverage the advantages of Hakka ancestral regions and innovate cross-strait Hakka cultural exchanges; Implement the project of showcasing and tracing the history of Fujian and Taiwan, and carry out activities such as docking the Fujian and Taiwan genealogy, searching for roots and paying respects to ancestors; Encourage compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to jointly promote Chinese culture, promote the protection, inheritance, and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture.

"Yesterday, I saw media comments that this' Opinion 'has three' full 'characteristics: full of friendship, full of hard work, and full of confidence.' Pan Xianzhang said that he believes that through the implementation and effectiveness of the 'Opinion', the policy and institutional system for the integration and development of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will be more perfect, personnel exchanges between Fujian and Taiwan will be more convenient, trade and investment will be smoother, and exchanges and cooperation will expand to a wider range and deeper level. The social atmosphere of 'one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, close ties between Fujian and Taiwan' will be even stronger.".
