Guangdong opens services to Taiwan for development opportunities

Guangdong will actively build an international, market-oriented, and legalized business environment, and provide high-quality services for Taiwan compatriots to start businesses, seek employment, and invest and develop in Guangdong, said a senior government official.

The province is willing to promote cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation and will further promote cross-Strait exchanges between young people under the political foundation of the 1992 Consensus and opposing "Taiwan independence", said Wang Weizhong, governor of Guangdong.

He made the remarks during a meeting with Hsia Li-yan, vice-chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, the island's main opposition party, in Guangzhou, the provincial capital, on Tuesday.

Wang said the government welcomes Taiwan compatriots to invest and develop in Guangdong and called on people on both sides of the Strait to share the opportunities brought by the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Hsia reiterated his commitment to upholding the 1992 Consensus and opposing "Taiwan independence" and outlined areas of cooperation for people on both sides of the Strait.
