Last year, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Supporting Fujian in Exploring a New Road for Cross-Strait Integrated Development and Building a Cross-Strait Integrated Development Demonstration Zone" was released. Guo Ningning mentioned that Fujian is currently accelerating the construction of cross-strait integrated development demonstration zones.
In terms of promoting integration through transportation, Fujian promotes the resumption of "small three links" sea flights and direct air routes, including the sea routes from Fuzhou Mawei and Lianjiang to Matsu, Xiamen, Quanzhou and Kinmen, and the air routes from Fuzhou to Taipei and Kaohsiung.

In terms of promoting financial integration through benefits, Fujian promotes equal treatment, and Taiwanese compatriots and Taiwanese companies can share all-round development opportunities in Fujian. For example, Taiwanese brands such as "Zhengxin" and "Taizu" have entered the mainland's "time-honored" family.

The cumulative trade volume between Fujian and Taiwan has exceeded 1.5 trillion yuan.
