At a Sept. 23 briefing the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said
desire for peace, development, exchange and cooperation is the mainstream
sentiment in Taiwan. The office said the mainland will continue to uphold a
cross‑strait kinship approach, roll out further Taiwan‑benefit policies,
strengthen institutional support for cross-strait integration, actively promote
people‑to‑people exchanges and sector cooperation, and welcome Taiwanese
participation to share opportunities from Chinese‑style modernization.
