BEIJING, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) — China will make China’s Fujian Province a demonstration zone for integrated development across the Taiwan Strait, said a statement Tuesday.
The statement, jointly issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, said the move aims to deepen cross-Strait integrated development in all fields and advance the peaceful reunification of the motherland. .
The document lists general requirements and 21 specific measures for the construction of the zone.
Fujian Province, located on China’s southeast coast, should take advantage of its distinctive advantages and exploit a variety of resources to further strengthen integrated development across the Taiwan Strait, according to the statement.
The statement noted that policies and systems will be optimized to promote the well-being of Taiwan compatriots and ensure that they enjoy equal treatment with their mainland counterparts.
