Confidence high among Taiwan people on mainland under new 5-year plan
By XinhuaPublished: Mar 29, 2026 11:20 AM
The outline of the new five-year plan for national economic and social development was unveiled and approved earlier this month during the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress, serving as the country's development blueprint for the next five years.
According to Wu Chia-ying, vice president of the Association of Taiwan Investment Enterprises on the Mainland, the new five-year plan has outlined a more comprehensive and clearer roadmap for integrated development across the Strait.
A series of concrete measures, including building demonstrative zones for integrated development, reflect the mainland's resolve to promote the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and deepen integration, he said.
"We expect further improvements in policies on cross-Strait integration, which can help foster closer industrial cooperation and build a common market across the Strait," said Edward Lee, CEO of Johnson Health Tech. Co., Ltd. China.
Integration means not only in economic activities but also in daily life, as the 15th Five-Year Plan stresses full implementation of policies ensuring Taiwan people receive equal treatment with local residents on the mainland.
Wu noted that this creates new opportunities for Taiwan people to thrive on the mainland. "For example, in Xiamen, we also receive support in children's education and medical care, which has spared us from related worries, so we can focus on long-term development."
