The announcement comes after a visit by the head of Taiwan\u2019s main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), to Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan has been a de-facto self-governing territory since 1949, when Chinese nationalist forces fled there after losing the civil war. Beijing regards the island as an integral part of its territory under the One China policy, which is backed by the overwhelming majority of the UN member states.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing\u2019s Taiwan Affairs Office unveiled the 10-point economic incentive package to the island on Sunday, which includes fast-tracking a full resumption of regular direct flights across the Taiwan Strait and facilitating access for Taiwanese food products to the Chinese market. The plan also envisions sharing energy and water supply with Matsu and Kinmen, Taiwanese-governed islands that are geographically closer to the mainland, as well as working on constructing a bridge to them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n        <span><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<figure>\n            <imgsrc=\"\" alt=\"Chinese President Xi Jinping with Kuomintang party chairwoman Cheng Li-wun, Beijing, April 10, 2026.\"><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/637999-rejuvenation-china-xi-taiwan\/\">China\u2019s Xi touts \u2018great rejuvenation\u2019 during Taiwanese opposition leader\u2019s visit<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The announcement comes after the six-day visit of KMT chairwoman Cheng Li-wun, who met China\u2019s President Xi Jinping on Friday.
