The Liberty Times Editorial: Reset cross-strait ties with caution Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chiu Tai-san (邱太三) recently told reporters that in the post-COVID-19 pandemic period, a range of cross-strait exchanges would slowly be restored, and that prioritizing a return to normality and order to the exchanges was an opportunity for Taiwan to “right the ship.” For example, Chinese businesspeople could be allowed to apply for visas for Taiwan again, and tourist and educational exchanges could be reinstated. Chiu reiterated that it was an opportunity to increase the number of exchanges, and to examine the situation that led to the breakdown in exchanges.
