Taipei, Oct. 25 (CNA) China is maintaining its carrot and stick approach to Taiwan 
following the conclusion of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Minister Chang Hsiao-yueh (張小月) said Wednesday, urging China to adopt a new way of approaching cross-Taiwan Strait exchanges.
Chang presented the Legislative Yuan with the MAC’s updates on China’s policies on Taiwan following the CPC’s 19th National Congress, predicting that the Chinese government will maintain officially an icy attitude toward the administration of President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), while offering incentives to the Taiwanese public to enjoy exchanges with the Chinese people and to visit China.
On maintaining the status quo, the minister also forecast that an upcoming meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) will result in no unexpected announcements regarding cross-strait relations.
