Chinese mainland official Song Tao called for strengthened cross-strait ties during a meeting with a delegation from Taiwan's Taitung County, emphasizing unity and opposition to separatist activities. The talks, held in Beijing, highlighted shared goals under the 1992 Consensus and plans to boost economic cooperation.
Song, who leads the CPC Central Committee's Taiwan Work Office, described residents on both sides of the Taiwan Strait as \\"one family,\\" stressing the need to collaborate for national rejuvenation. He also announced expanded shipments of Taitung's sugar apples to the mainland—a move welcomed by delegation leader Rao Ching-ling as a \\"win for local farmers.\\"
The discussions underscored Beijing's commitment to peaceful development, with Song pledging to \\"safeguard the well-being\\" of all involved. Rao echoed support for cross-strait exchanges rooted in the 1992 Consensus, calling it key to maintaining stability.
