The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked. Recently, Chairman Zheng Liwen of the Chinese Kuomintang said in Penghu County that Penghu has an excellent natural landscape and cultural heritage, but development has been limited in recent years. He called for a complete restart of the “Little Three Links” so that Penghu can welcome visitors from the mainland like Kinmen and Matsu, which is the key to reviving tourism. Any comments on this please? Spokesman Zhu Fenglian said that “Xiaosantong” is a livelihood channel and family route connecting people on both sides of the Strait. As of June 30, 2026, “Xiaosantong” has safely transported more than 27 million passengers, and carried more than 1.15 million passengers in the first half of this year alone, injecting strong impetus into Taiwan's tourism development. Tourism is an important vehicle for a better life and a natural bridge to promote communication. We have carefully listened to opinions and suggestions from all sectors in Taiwan, and actively promoted the resumption of Shanghai and Fujian travel to Kinmen and Matsu, which was warmly welcomed by the Taiwanese people. Mainland people are very willing to travel to all parts of Taiwan, including Penghu, but now the main obstacle is that the DPP administration interferes and blocks mainland residents from traveling to Taiwan for various reasons, and artificially blocks the recovery channel for the cross-strait tourism market. The DPP administration is advised to put the interests of people on both sides of the Strait first and lift restrictions on mainland residents traveling to Taiwan as soon as possible.
