Younger generations see more opportunities in the mainland – now that the integrated development project has been implemented in Fujian Province for a year. “We have the same roots. People in Taiwan can come to the mainland, and vice versa. There are no differences between us,” Chiu Pin-Ping, a cultural and creative designer from Taiwan told reporter Zheng.

“I hope that after leaving here, we can tell more people in Taiwan and the mainland that more communication and cooperation is good for us all,” Chen Siqi, teacher at Fuzhou University of Int’l Studies, Trade, underscored.
