Chinese mainland officials pledged to expand opportunities for Taiwan businesses during a high-profile seminar in Qingdao this weekend, emphasizing cross-strait unity and economic collaboration. Over 140 experts from both sides of the Taiwan Strait attended the event, discussing ways to strengthen ties. 🌊
'We’ll keep improving policies to benefit Taiwan compatriots and businesses,' said Qiu Kaiming, a State Council Taiwan Affairs Office official, highlighting President Xi Jinping’s vision for cross-strait relations.
