The Cabinet has dismissed a package of China's Taiwan-related policy
proposals as a "tool of coercion."

Beijing announced the 10 measures Sunday at the close of KMT Chairwoman Cheng
Li-wun's visit to Beijing, which included a meeting with Chinese leader Xi
Jinping.

The proposals include resuming individual travel to Taiwan by residents of
Shanghai and Fujian Province, easing access for Taiwanese agricultural and
fishery products, and offering incentives for residents of the outlying
islands Kinmen and Matsu.

Cabinet spokesperson Michelle Lee said most of the measures involved policies
Beijing had previously suspended without justification, causing harm to
Taiwan's farmers, fishermen and industries.


The Mainland Affairs Council added that Beijing was attempting to sideline
Taiwan's democratically-elected government by framing cross-strait relations
under a KMT-to-CCP and "one China" framework.
