The implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) is set to create significant opportunities for individuals and enterprises from Taiwan, according to Zhang Han, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office. Speaking at a press conference in Beijing on November 5, 2025, Zhang emphasized that the plan, recently adopted by the Communist Party of China (CPC) leadership, prioritizes the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and the advancement of national reunification. Zhang highlighted the mainland’s robust economic foundation, characterized by a super-sized market, a comprehensive industrial system, and a rich talent pool, which will further enhance its resilience and potential. The mainland plans to establish demonstration zones for cross-Strait integrated development, foster economic collaboration, and implement policies ensuring equal treatment for Taiwan compatriots in education, employment, and daily life. Additionally, efforts will be made to jointly preserve and promote Chinese culture. Zhang also noted that 23 Taiwan enterprises are participating in the eighth China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, showcasing products across various sectors, including food, technical equipment, consumer goods, medical devices, healthcare, and service trade. She encouraged individuals from both sides of the Strait to explore business opportunities at the CIIE, which aligns with China’s commitment to expanding openness and fostering innovative trade development. Taiwan businesses are expected to benefit from the mainland’s new development pattern, leveraging the CIIE as a platform to expand sales channels and engage in extensive cooperation.
