Media content would be allowed if it has correct orientation, healthy content and high production quality.

Food-related measures would hinge on a political foundation of opposing Taiwan independence.

China continues to refuse engagement with Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te.

The incentives are explicitly conditional on adherence to Beijing's One China principle.

Focus Taiwan quoted scholar Hung Yao-nan describing the approach as a form of soft integration and political bypass.

Beijing is seeking to establish a quasi-governance channel through exchanges with Taiwan's opposition Kuomintang.

This creates a structure beyond Taiwan's constitutional framework.

The measures aim to revive exchanges disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The resumption of full cross-strait flights is crucial for tourism, business, and family reunions.

China approved Taiwanese television dramas to be broadcast in mainland China.

Trade facilitation includes plans to simplify inspection standards for Taiwanese food and agricultural products.
