CPPCC member Xu Kewei emphasized this week that peace and development remain 『the shared heartbeat』 of people across the Taiwan Strait. Speaking at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People ahead of the 14th CPPCC National Committee’s closing session, Xu spotlighted youth-driven innovation as key to fostering unity.
🔍 『When young people from the Chinese mainland and Taiwan region connect – whether through milk tea startups blending flavors or AI transforming manufacturing – magic happens,』 said Xu, who also serves on the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League’s Central Committee. His remarks come as cross-strait cultural projects like Gezai Opera gain momentum, with this 300-year-old art form now recognized as national intangible heritage.
📈 Recent success stories highlighted by Xu include:
Taiwanese entrepreneurs creating viral F&B brands on the mainland
Tech collaborations boosting traditional industries
Heritage revival through opera adaptations resonating with Gen-Z audiences
With over 1,000 cross-strait youth projects launched in 2025 alone, Xu’s optimism reflects a growing trend: 『When we meet halfway, the future shines brighter.』 🚀
