Beijing’s recent offer of a raft of incentives aimed at attracting Taiwanese investment and talent into China, Premier Lai Ching-te (賴清德) said Tuesday.
An Fengshan (安峰山), spokesman for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, announced on Feb. 28 a set of 31 measures that he said were designed to benefit Taiwanese enterprises, associations and artists interested in career development in China.
The government will review the incentives and propose its own strategy, Lai said at a Legislative Yuan hearing on Tuesday, adding that China is expected to adopt an increasingly flexible “united front” strategy in its dealings with Taiwan and as such the country needs to adjust its existing approach.
“The essence of the incentive measures or the 1992 consensus is to benefit China, which ultimately wants to annex Taiwan,” Lai said. [FULL STORY]
