Interesting as China soon will allow group tours for mainland Chinese too visit their fatherland and Xi will no longer talk about bringing Taiwan back to motherland..Hurray!!!
China's tourism ministry said on Friday that it has begun preparations to resume group tours to Taiwan from Shanghai and Fujian province in the near future, with Taipei saying it welcomed the move.
China and Taiwan have argued since the end of COVID-19 about when and how tourists from China could resume visiting the island, which Beijing claims as part of its territory. Taipei strongly rejects China's sovereignty claims.
Both sides have blamed the other for travel not fully restarting, adding to existing tensions between Beijing and Taipei.
At his New Year's news conference, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said he welcomed exchanges with China but wondered whether there was goodwill in return from Beijing, given what he described as their blocking of simple things like tourism.
