Travel between mainland, Taiwan facilitated
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2005-10-26 21:45 From Tuesday on, Taiwan
residents have two more places to go to apply for re-issue of their
five-year-term permits to enter and exit the Chinese mainland if the permits are
lost or have expired.
The two places newly authorized by China's Ministry of Public Security to
handle such affairs are Shanghai and Jiangsu in east China, where there are
large numbers of Taiwan businessmen.
Earlier, such permits were issued only by agencies in four places, namely
Hong Kong, Macao, Fuzhou and Xiamen.
If the permits are lost or have expired, the holders have to go to the first
three cities to apply for re-issue.
The mainland has lately taken a series of measures to simplify the procedure
and facilitate travel between the mainland and Taiwan, aiming to boost the
affinity of the Chinese people across the Taiwan Straits.
