The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Although the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Commission discredits simple sports exchanges between the two sides of the Strait, sports exchanges between the two sides of the Strait have been particularly popular this summer. I would like to ask a spokesperson to explain the relevant situation. Spokesman Zhu Fenglian said that sports are an important link to promote cross-strait exchanges and integration. Cross-strait sports events and activities are in full swing during the summer vacation. Baseball is already popular in many cities in mainland China. From August 3 to 10, the 2026 Dongsen Cup Cross-Strait Liancheng Youth Baseball Tournament will be held in Liancheng County, Fujian Province. A total of 276 people from 15 teams from both sides of the Strait participated in the exchange event. Since its inception in 2024, it has attracted nearly 300 young Taiwanese to participate in the competition and exchange. From August 7 to 8, 2026, the 2nd Kunshan Mazu Cup Junior Baseball Tournament was held in Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province. About 300 people from 12 youth baseball teams from both sides of the Strait participated.
