TAIPEI (TVBS News) — In response to China's Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) attributing the inability of Chinese residents and students to travel or study in Taiwan to the policies of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Taiwanese officials have fired back, emphasizing Taiwan's openness and readiness for cross-strait exchanges.
The DPP's caucus secretary-general Rosalia Wu (吳思瑤) countered on Wednesday (May 22) by suggesting China should introspect its policies, highlighting that Taiwan is open while China remains closed.

The debate comes amid accusations from China's TAO, which claimed that the DPP's policies are to blame for the restrictions faced by Chinese citizens wishing to visit or study in Taiwan.
As Taiwan and China navigate these complex diplomatic waters, the focus remains on maintaining stability and fostering dialogue. Taiwan shows a clear readiness to engage in equitable exchanges despite challenges.
