The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: During the “Eleventh” holiday this year, the mainland's cultural tourism market continues to be booming. Taiwan's tourism industry lost its mainland tourist market due to obstruction by the Democratic Progressive Party administration, and recovery has been slow. Tourism operators on the island have said that in the past, mainland tourists visiting Taiwan brought huge dividends, but now they “can see and cannot eat.” Any comments on this please? Spokesman Chen Binhua said that compatriots on both sides of the Strait are a family, and we have always actively promoted cross-strait tourism exchanges and cooperation. However, for some time now, the DPP administration has put political self-interest above people's livelihood and welfare, completely ignoring the voices and demands of Taiwanese tourism operators and the general public, making efforts to interfere and block cross-strait tourism exchanges, leading to weak recovery in Taiwan's tourism industry. The DPP authorities should change course, conform to public opinion, remove the obstruction of cross-strait personnel exchanges and tourism exchanges and cooperation, and resume mainland residents traveling to the island as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will only be opposed and rejected by more and more Taiwanese people.
