'Three Links' Vital for Taiwan

Taiwan authorities should respect the appeals from local people in business circles to quicken its pace to fully institute the direct "three links'' across the Taiwan Straits, said a visiting Chinese official in Singapore on Thursday.

Taiwan business representatives have urged Taiwan authorities to abandon the "no haste, be patient'' policy which has marred progress on the three links in the recent session of Taiwan's Economic Development Advisory Commission, said Wang Zaixi, vice-director of the Taiwan Affairs Office under the State Council.

Opening-up of the three links -- trade, postal service and transportation -- across the Taiwan Straits is a long-held of people on both sides of the Straits, Wang told Singapore media.

Beijing has called for the completion of the three links across the Taiwan Straits in the "Remarks to Taiwan Compatriots'' released in 1979.

Negotiations between individuals, corporations and business people across the Straits could be achieved if Taiwan authorities consider the three links issue under the one-China principle, Wang said.

Nonetheless, with or without approval from the Taiwan authorities, Taiwanese companies have poured about US$70 billion into the mainland since authorities first allowed exchanges between the two sides in 1987.
