Pilot projects designed to provide a wider window with Taiwan

Leaders in Xiamen plan to widen the window for cross-Straits communication.

The city will do it by investing in pilot projects for culture, education, finance, medical care and tourism while improving the current management system, said Ren Guoyan, chief planner of the Xiamen Planning Bureau.

The cultural exchange platforms and cultural industry bases will then lead to further prosperity on both sides of the Straits, he said.
