The island is looking to resume exchanges halted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
TAIPEI: Taiwan’s government today said it will from this month allow Chinese tourists and business people to visit again as it seeks to resume exchanges halted by the Covid-19 pandemic and extend an olive branch to Beijing.
In 2019, China halted individual tourism permits for Taiwan amid rising tensions over the democratically governed island that Beijing claims as its sovereign territory. Tour groups from China will be limited to 2,000 arrivals per day, but the actual date from when this will begin will depend on the reaction of the Chinese government, the council added in a statement.
