| | Taiwan - Mainland Relations in the Past Year (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Mainland high school and senior vocational school principals, legal specialists, as well as land and construction specialists have been permitted to visit Taiwan; restrictions on the qualifications for Taiwan investment in the mainland have been relaxed; and cross-strait trade in securities and futures has been liberalized. |
 | | Secondly, the mainland regime continued its campaign of military threats begun the year before to obstruct the holding of the ROC's presidential and vice-presidential election, by launching a series of missile tests and military exercises in waters off Taiwan's shores. |
 | | If only the mainland authorities will set aside selfish partisan considerations, straightforwardly face up to the current situation, demonstrate respect for their cross-strait counterparts, and give priority to the public interest, both sides can replace antagonism with negotiation, eliminate enmity through communication, solve all disputes and advance positive interaction. |
