Lai Ching-te's restrictive policies send chills to cross-Strait exchanges

China Daily  

TAIPEI/XIAMEN -- People engaging in exchanges across the Taiwan Strait are feeling a chilling effect when Taiwan authorities led by Lai Ching-te have doubled down on restrictive policies toward the mainland. Portraying the mainland as a "hostile external force," Lai outlined 17 strategies to counter so-called threats facing the island, including a number of restrictive policies on mutual visits by Taiwan and mainland residents as well as on cultural, academic and religious exchanges. "Some artists working at public educational institutions would hesitate to attend events on the mainland for fear of possible career setbacks," said Sun Di, a long-time organizer of cross-Strait art events. The Democratic Progressive Party 's new strategies have inevitably raised concerns among businesses, particularly among Taiwan entrepreneurs doing business on the mainland, said Lai Cheng-yi, honorable chairman of the General Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan.
