      <title>China offers incentives to Taiwan following opposition leader’s visit</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330456803/china-offers-incentives-to-taiwan-following-opposition-leaders-visit</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;China on Sunday unveiled 10 new incentive measures for Taiwan, including easing tourist curbs, allowing in healthy television dramas and ​facilitating food sales, following a visit by the island’s ‌opposition leader.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The move comes at the end of a trip to China by Cheng Li-wun, chairwoman of the Kuomintang (KMT), Taiwan’s largest opposition party.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She met ​Chinese President Xi Jinping and talked about the need ​for peace and reconciliation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 10 measures, unveiled by the official ⁠Xinhua news agency, explore the establishment of a regular communication mechanism ​between the KMT and China’s Communist Party, the full resumption of ​flights between the two sides and permission for individuals from Shanghai and Fujian province to visit Taiwan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A mechanism will be established to ease inspection standards ​for food and fishery products, but that has to be on ​the political foundation of “opposing Taiwan independence,” Xinhua said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Taiwanese TV dramas, documentaries and animation ‌will ⁠be allowed to be shown as long as they have “correct orientation, healthy content, and high production quality,” it added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was no immediate reaction from Taiwan’s government.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;China refuses to talk to Taiwan President ​Lai Ching-te, saying ​he is a separatist. ⁠&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He rejects Beijing’s sovereignty claims over the island.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;China and Taiwan have blamed each other ​for the lack of a resumption of large-scale Chinese ​tourism ⁠to the island since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Taiwan has also previously complained about Chinese restrictions on imports of certain agricultural and ⁠aquatic ​products, saying China has in some cases ​used unjustified excuses to stop the spread of pests and diseases.&lt;/p&gt;
