Taiwanese businessmen’s overall investment in the mainland continued to grow, large projects increased, and technological content increased, and the cross-strait industrial chain supply chain continued to strengthen steadily.

Facts have fully proved that cross-strait economic and trade cooperation conforms to the laws of the market economy and conforms to the interests of enterprises and compatriots on both sides of the strait. It is unstoppable by accidents and interference and restrictions by certain forces.

  He said that the mainland has a population of 1.4 billion, and the per capita GDP has exceeded US$10,000. As the world’s largest and most potential consumer market, the mainland is accelerating the construction of a new domestic and international dual-cycle mutual promotion. The development pattern is to take new steps in reform and opening up, and form a new higher-level open economic system, with more investment opportunities and greater room for growth. The majority of Taiwanese businessmen and enterprises must take advantage of the trend and take advantage of the trend.

  "We will continue to improve and promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, deepen cross-strait integration and development, and guarantee the well-being of Taiwan compatriots in institutional arrangements and policy measures, so that Taiwan compatriots will have a sense of gain, happiness, and participation in national rejuvenation. Exchange and cooperation in the field, enhance the friendship and well-being of our compatriots, and unite our compatriots in Taiwan to realize their personal yearning for a better life in the national cause of realizing the "Chinese Dream"." said Pei Jinjia.
