Fujian, the closest mainland province to Taiwan, will continue to deepen its integration with the island in the next five years and play a greater role in promoting the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations and the reunification of the motherland.
Last month, the Communist Party of China leadership s proposals for formulating the country s development blueprint for the next five years explicitly pointed out that the mainland will support Fujian in exploring a new path for cross-Straits integrated development.

The CPC Fujian Provincial Committee reviewed and passed its own proposals for development at a meeting on Monday, saying the province will implement the major policies of the central leadership regarding Taiwan and promote cross-Straits integration for the benefit of compatriots on both sides of the Straits.

China announced reciprocal sanctions on Thursday against US officials and personnel for their egregious behavior on Hong Kong issues, and the revoking of visa exemption treatment for US diplomatic passport holders paying temporary visits to Hong Kong and Macao.
The sanctions will be imposed on US executive officials, congressional members and nongovernmental organization personnel who have performed badly on Hong Kong-related issues, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a news briefing.
Their immediate family members will also be affected, Hua said.
Citizens of the United States enjoy visa-free entry to Hong Kong for 90-day stays for visits and tourism.
