After the resumption of the "small three links", Taiwan compatriots requested that the normal exchanges between the two sides be restored as soon as possible
2023-01-30
Since the partial resumption of the flight on January 7, the "small three links" passenger routes across the Taiwan Straits, which have been suspended for nearly three years, have operated smoothly and orderly. The reporter learned from the Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao Office of Fujian Province that, as of the 29th, the 46 flights from Xiamen to Jinmen carried more than 3000 passengers, and the 10 flights from Fuzhou to Mazu carried more than 230 passengers. "I had a happy Spring Festival." Lu Lili, a villager from Jinmen who worked in Xiamen, returned home through the "Little Three Links". The family had a reunion dinner and spent the holiday together. "This time, we can finally go home conveniently for the Spring Festival, and our family are very happy," she said. "It only costs more than 300 yuan to go back and forth through the" small three links ", while it costs tens of thousands of yuan to bypass the island for transfer." A year ago, Li Hanqiang, a villager from Jinmen, brought his children to Fujian to visit their relatives through the "small three links". He said that he hoped that the "small three links" would be normalized as soon as possible, which is the common aspiration of Taiwan compatriots. In February 2020, the DPP authorities unilaterally suspended the "small three links" under the pretext of epidemic prevention. At the end of last year, the Taiwan administrative agency approved the "Spring Festival Traffic Project for People in Jinmen and Matsu Region", which allows flights to be applied for in a special way during the month before and after the Spring Festival, but limits the number of flights, and only applies to people in Jinmen and Matsu and local mainland spouses. The majority of Taiwanese businessmen in the mainland are excluded, and Taiwan's public opinion criticized it as "only half set". The mainland continued to promote the resumption of the "three links". On January 28 and 29, Song Tao, the director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, learned about the resumption of some flights of the "small three links" in Xiamen, visited the Taiwan compatriots returning to Xiamen via the "small three links", visited the Xiamen Taiwan Union and Taiwan-funded enterprises, and had a discussion with representatives of Taiwan enterprises in Fujian and Taiwan to listen to suggestions. Peace, development, exchange and cooperation are the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the Straits. At present, the epidemic situation in the mainland has been well controlled, and Taiwan compatriots can come to study, work, start a business and live at ease. The compatriots on both sides of the Straits have a strong desire to achieve normal exchanges and exchanges. We attach great importance to it and have made comprehensive preparations for it. Using the epidemic as an excuse to block cross-strait exchanges is contrary to public opinion and unpopular. We should fully resume the "three links" and normal exchanges between the people on both sides of the Straits as soon as possible. "The mainland continues to make efforts to promote the resumption of the 'three links' and care for the development and life of Taiwanese businessmen. We are deeply moved and have strengthened our confidence in taking root in the mainland," said Wu Jiaying, honorary president of the Xiamen Taiwan Association. "The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities only open the" small three links "for" half a set ", and Taiwanese businessmen in the mainland are very dissatisfied." Han Yinghuan, president of the Xiamen Television Association, said that we strongly appeal to the DPP authorities to restore the "small three links" and cross-strait direct shipping points as soon as possible, and resume normal exchanges between the two sides. Fan Jiangfeng, a young man from Taiwan, said that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits are a family, and youth on both sides of the Taiwan Straits need exchanges and cooperation. The DPP authorities should lift all restrictions on exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits in order to seek political self-interest
