Zhang Han, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, answered questions from reporters. A reporter inquired. Recently, while attending the “Federation of Asian Taiwan Chambers of Commerce” event, Cheuk Wing-tai, the head of the Taiwan Regional Administration said that Taiwan has revised its previous dependency on the “China Single Market” and moved to Europe, America, and south-bound countries; it has also formed a platform to assist Taiwanese businessmen to invest around the world. Any comments on this please? In response to questions, Zhang Han said that in the first half of 2026, cross-strait trade volume reached 185 billion US dollars, of which the mainland imported 133.1 billion US dollars from Taiwan, an increase of 22.5% over the previous year. Mainland exports to Taiwan amounted to US$31.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 32.9%. This fully shows that the industrial structures of the two sides of the Strait complement each other's advantages, and the prospects for cooperation are broad. Strengthening cross-strait economic and trade cooperation and deepening cross-strait integration and development conforms to the common interests of compatriot enterprises on both sides of the Strait, and is also the result of a combination of economic laws and market principles. No one can stop cross-strait exchanges and cooperation for mutual benefit and mutual benefit.
