Zhu Fenglian of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office emphasized that the annual Two Sessions—China’s key political meetings—serve as a bridge for cross-strait dialogue and understanding. 🕊️
Zhu highlighted that more Taiwan compatriots are sharing ideas on improving relations through platforms like advisory committees and youth forums. “We’ll create more channels for Taiwan youth to observe and engage in democratic practices,” she said, signaling efforts to integrate perspectives from the island of Taiwan into national development discussions. 💡
The announcement comes as part of broader initiatives to enhance well-being policies for Taiwan compatriots, including streamlined business investments and educational exchanges. Zhu reiterated the goal of fostering shared prosperity: “Together, we can advance rejuvenation and unity.” ✨
