Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a regular press conference on the 16th that we have always encouraged personnel exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. As long as the DPP authorities remove the obstacles, we are happy to see cross-strait waypoints and routes gradually expand and resume.
Ma Xiaoguang said that, as we all know, since February 2020, without any communication with the mainland, the DPP authorities have not only suspended the direct exchanges between Fujian coastal areas and Kinmen and Matsu areas (“mini-three links”), but also unilaterally suspended them. Other cross-strait passenger flights between the two sides of the strait except for Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen, and Chengdu. The DPP authorities have repeatedly said that they will gradually resume personnel exchanges between the two sides of the strait. We have heard it countless times, but we always “only hear the sound of the stairs, but no one comes down.”
The person in charge of Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council said recently that preparations for the resumption of the “miniature three links” have been completed, and they will coordinate with the mainland to resume as soon as possible. In this regard, Ma Xiaoguang answered the question and said that in February 2020, the DPP authorities unilaterally interrupted the direct communication between the coastal areas of Fujian and the Kinmen and Matsu areas on the grounds of epidemic prevention and control, which seriously affected the exchanges and exchanges between people on both sides of the strait, especially people from Fujian and Taiwan. . It is hoped that the DPP authorities will lift the relevant restrictions as soon as possible, so as not to harm the vital interests of the compatriots on both sides of the strait, especially the compatriots in Kinmen and Matsu. There is no obstacle on the mainland side to the resumption of direct communication between the Fujian coast and the Kinmen and Matsu areas.
Ma Xiaoguang also said that the person who tied the bell is still needed to untie the bell. The interruption of the direct communication between the coast of Fujian and the Kinmen and Matsu areas was unilaterally done by the DPP authorities. When it was restored, the DPP authorities demanded “official communication”. This is not politics. What is fucked? What is it not to create excuses to delay recovery, and to dump the blame on the mainland?
Ma Xiaoguang said that the mainland has no obstacles to resuming the direct exchanges between the coastal areas of Fujian and the Kinmen and Matsu areas, and I believe that the relevant businesses on both sides of the strait will not have any obstacles either. It has formed a set of effective and mature norms and practices. As long as the DPP authorities remove the obstacles they have set up, relevant operators on both sides of the strait can deal with specific issues such as flights according to the actual needs of the people on both sides of the strait, and the air traffic between the two places can return to normal. If the DPP authorities are truly sympathetic to the people on the island, they should take actions to remove the artificial restrictions as soon as possible, and stop harming the vital interests of the compatriots on both sides of the strait, especially the compatriots in Kinmen and Matsu.
At the press conference, Ma Xiaoguang also answered questions and introduced that on November 11, the Comprehensive Team of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issued the “Notice on Further Optimizing the Prevention and Control Measures of the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Work in a Scientific and Accurate Way”, announcing the further optimization of prevention and control measures. Twenty measures to control work. Relevant authorities have decided that starting from 00:00 on November 18, passengers on cross-strait passenger flights will be adjusted from having two negative nucleic acid test certificates within 48 hours before boarding to holding one negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours before boarding. , the test report must indicate that the nucleic acid test CT value is ≥35. At the same time, the current regulations will continue to be implemented, and passengers transiting through Taiwan from other countries or regions will not be allowed to enter the mainland. The isolation and medical observation requirements for inbound personnel from the Taiwan region will be adjusted simultaneously according to the latest epidemic prevention and control measures in the territory of the waypoint. It is hoped that people traveling between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and relevant airlines will fully cooperate in the prevention and control of the epidemic.
