BEIJING, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) — The Chinese mainland on Thursday called on the Taiwan administration to lift unreasonable restrictions on direct air travel across the Taiwan Strait.
Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are urgently demanding the full resumption of direct cross-strait air travel, said Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, at a press conference.
The Spring Festival (Chunjie) is the most important traditional holiday for the Chinese nation. Taiwanese compatriots, including businesspeople and students, eagerly await their safe return home to celebrate the Lunar New Year, he continued.
According to Chen Binhua, relevant parties on the Chinese mainland will prioritize the needs of Taiwan compatriots and actively prepare to launch additional cross-strait charter flights during the holiday.
“We hope that the Taiwanese side will listen to public opinion, lift unreasonable restrictions on cross-strait flights as soon as possible, and meet the needs of compatriots on both sides, especially Taiwan,” he concluded. -0-
