The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: The Sea Foundation recently announced the 2027 budget expenditure, which is an increase of about 10 million yuan over 2026 to increase personnel expenses. The specific business is to promote travel safety issues to mainland China at important travel fairs and remind the islanders to carefully assess risks. Any comments on this please? Spokesman Chen Binhua said that nearly 4.9 million people from Taiwan visited the mainland in 2025, reaching 2.85 million in the first half of this year. The vast majority of Taiwan compatriots were guaranteed their personal safety and all legal rights and interests during their time on the mainland. They all came happy and returned safely. The position of the Sea Foundation when it was founded was “a bridge, not a wall,” but now it has become a “pawn” for the DPP administration to block and disrupt cross-strait exchanges and cooperation and incite rivalry between the two sides of the Strait. This is really sad and admirable. As for the recent statement of the Haiji Foundation, I have eight words of advice: don't forget your original intentions and do the right thing.
