Life made easier for Taiwan citizens
Print Edition
TAIWAN residents are now eligible to work in public institutions in more regions, An Fengshan, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council announced yesterday.
As of yesterday, they can be employed in public institutions such as hospitals and universities in Beijing and the provinces of Hainan, Hebei, Guangdong and Shandong as well as the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Prior to the announcement, Taiwan residents could only work for public institutions in Shanghai, Tianjin, and the provinces of Fujian, Hubei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The Chinese mainland will increase cooperation and communication across the Taiwan Strait with ongoing preferential policies, An said.
Six new cross-Strait exchange bases will be set up to increase communication between people on both sides of the Strait.
The new bases will include a conservation site for the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan Province, Jingdezhen China Ceramics Museum in Jiangxi Province, and a Buddhist cultural park in Fujian Province, An said.
They will act as platforms for people from both sides of the Strait to understand history and culture, An said. There are already 49 such bases on the mainland.
By the end of 2016, more than 6,000 young people from Taiwan had interned, worked or started businesses in nearly 1,200 Taiwan-invested enterprises on the mainland, An said.
In order to help Taiwan graduates from mainland higher education institutions find jobs, the Ministry of Education told institutions to standardize enrollment regulations and protect the legal rights of Taiwan students.
Taiwan academics working on the mainland can apply for state-level research projects, including projects from the National Natural Science Fund, An said.
Taiwan-based law firms are now allowed to set up representative offices in Shanghai and the provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, according to the Ministry of Justice.
After three years, they may operate in conjunction with local law firms in the provincial regions where they are established.
Taiwan residents can also purchase and collect tickets via self-service ticket machines at train stations in Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin, and in several provinces.
