Source: China – South China Morning PostBeijing\u2019s decision to reinstate tariffs on more than 100 items imported from Taiwan was prompted by its pro-independence government\u2019s failure to reciprocate and continued promotion of the \u201cseparatist fallacy\u201d, the mainland body in charge of cross-strait affairs has said. Song Tao, head of Beijing\u2019s Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO), made the remarks as he met representatives of \u201cThe Third Wednesday Club\u201d led by Taiwan Glass Group chairman Lin Por-fong. The Third Wednesday Club is one of Taiwan\u2019s most influential business groups. Founded in 1999 by Chiang Pin-kung, then chairman of the island\u2019s Council for Economic Planning and Development, the club got its name from the monthly lunch meeting he hosted with top business leaders. It is the first large business group from Taiwan to visit mainland China after William Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) took office as leader of the self-ruled island on May 20. He succeeded the DPP\u2019s Tsai Ing-wen, whose two four-year terms saw a marked slide in cross-strait ties. The itinerary of the 30-strong delegation includes stops in Beijing, Tianjin and the neighbouring province of Hebei. Lin said they had been invited to visit Hebei\u2019s Xiongan New Area, a signature project of President Xi Jinping in his push to ease pressure on Beijing, some 120km (74.5 miles) away. Their trip comes less than two weeks after Beijing announced the suspension of some preferential tariff arrangements under the cross-strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), its only trade pact with Taiwan, as part of a continued response to a \u201cseparatist\u201d inauguration speech from Lai. Song said he had noted the \u201cclose attention\u201d paid by the Taiwan business community to the withholding of preferential treatment under the ECFA list. However, the agreement had been signed on the common political ground of the \u201c1992 consensus\u201d, he said, referring to a cross-strait agreement that there was only one China. The two sides \u201ccould have upheld mutual trust, accumulated goodwill, and properly\u2026Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
