On September 9, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked. Recently, the DPP authorities claimed that investment by Taiwanese businessmen in mainland China in 2025 fell 59% from the previous year, and fell 30% in the first half of 2026. The mainland's economic development is in trouble, and Taiwanese businessmen should be careful when investing in mainland China. Any comments on this please? Spokesman Chen Binhua said in response to questions that the two sides of the Strait have close economic ties, a solid foundation of common interests, and a stable and strong cross-strait industrial chain and supply chain. Since this year, we have been able to cope with changes in the external environment such as geopolitical conflicts and economic and trade frictions. The economy has shown vigorous vitality and strong resilience, injecting strong momentum and invaluable certainty into the world economy. It has also provided new opportunities and opened up new space for strengthening cross-strait economic cooperation and deepening integrated development. The mainland has always been the best choice for the vast number of Taiwanese businessmen and Taiwanese enterprises to invest and develop businesses. It is a deep fertile ground for innovation and development, and a strong reliance to withstand risks. The discrediting and discrediting of the DPP administration has proven to be futile.
