China's Taiwan Affairs Office announced 10 measures on Sunday to promote cross-strait economic cooperation and livelihoods, following Kuomintang chairwoman Cheng Li-wun's six-day visit to the mainland, where she met Xi Jinping. The plan has been welcomed by Taiwan industries but drawn warnings from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party.
Xintian village in Fujian, ancestral home of Taiwanese leader William Lai Ching-te, has become a symbol in Beijing’s efforts to strengthen historical and religious ties across the Taiwan Strait. Visitor numbers have surged following a popular live stream, and local authorities are promoting it as a cross-strait cultural exchange hub. The clan association secretary urged Lai to contribute to national reunification.
