Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chiu Tai-san speaks at a news conference at the council in Taipei yesterday. Underlining his intent, Chiu announced an end to a ban on Chinese business travelers after more than a year of COVID-19 travel restrictions. Discussions are continuing on whether to resume travel for Chinese with family in Taiwan, as well as on border control adjustments, he said. However, as the center does not yet list China as a medium-low or low-risk region, Chinese business travelers are not eligible for shortened quarantines, CECC spokesman Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥) said. Aside from business travelers, Chinese nationals with Taiwanese residency, as well as their spouses and children, can enter Taiwan, in addition to students, and those with imperative family or health reasons.
