China has announced that it will resume some of its suspended ties with Taiwan, including direct flights to cities across China and imports of Taiwanese aquaculture products. In a statement, the Taiwan Work Office under the Communist Party of China said it will also explore establishing a regular communication mechanism with the Kuomintang.

The announcement came after a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Kuomintang leader Cheng Li-wun on Friday. Both sides called for peace, though no specific details were shared. Relations between China and Taiwan have remained strained since 2016, when Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party was elected as President. Since then, Beijing has suspended most official dialogue with Taiwan’s government in Taipei and increased military activity around the island.
