Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council spokesperson Zhu Fenglian reiterated in response to inquiries on the 18th that there is no obstacle in the mainland to restore the "small three links" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. The relevant parties have made full preparations and can be put into operation at any time. We advise the DPP authorities not to continue to harm the vital interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, especially those in Taiwan, by deceptive tricks, but should cancel unilaterally set artificial restrictions as soon as possible.
A reporter asked: Regarding the restoration of the "small three links" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Su Zhenchang said that he "adhered to cross-strait intergovernmental consultations", and the Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan also claimed that it was necessary to obtain the "authorization of the aviation control departments of both sides of the Taiwan Strait", which involved the so-called "public power matters". What are your comments on this?
Zhu Fenglian replied that since 2020, the DPP authorities have unilaterally interrupted direct exchanges between Fujian coastal areas and Kinmen and Mazu areas under the pretext of epidemic prevention, seriously affecting exchanges and exchanges between people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, especially those in Fujian and Taiwan. Over the past three years, facing the continuous appeal and strong demand of the majority of Taiwanese people, especially the villagers of Jinma , the DPP authorities have made a hypocritical attitude of being willing to recover, and on the other hand, they have created various excuses to delay as much as possible, fully exposing their hypocrisy.
As we all know, the "small three links" along the coast of Fujian and the Kinmen and Mazu areas have been in operation for many years. The routes involved, waypoints, participating shipping companies, and related customs clearance, entry, quarantine inspection, etc. have formed a set of mature and effective norms and practices. As long as the DPP authorities remove the obstacles they deliberately set, relevant operators on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can contact and communicate according to the actual needs of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and handle specific issues such as flights according to the actual needs of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The navigation between Jin and Xiamen can return to normal.
Zhu Fenglian pointed out that in the face of facts, the DPP authorities have repeatedly insisted that they must go through so-called "intergovernmental consultation" and "official communication" before they can resume flights, which shows that their recovery of "small three links" is false, and continuing to close is true; restoring cross-strait exchanges is false, and continuing to block it is true; caring for the welfare of the people is false, and seeking political self-interest is true. I believe that the majority of Taiwanese compatriots can see clearly. (Source: China Taiwan Network )
