BEIJING, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- China's exchange rate regulator said Tuesday it would work to promote balance of payment next year by stabilizing exports while expanding imports. The promotion of balance of payment should be the fundamental of the work in 2010 in order to safeguard the nation's economic and financial security, said Yi Gang, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE). He said SAFE would continue to diversify the investment of foreign reserves, and ensure the safety, liquidity and the value of the mounting assets, which have ballooned to more than 2 trillion U.S. dollars. The authority would also step up supervision of the cross-border money flow to protect national financial safety, he said. Yi also noted SAFE would seek chances to push forward reforms in key areas and links of the foreign exchange management but didn't elaborate.
BEIJING, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- A senior Chinese mainland official on Wednesday urged media organizations across the Taiwan Strait to cover more stories on cross-Strait relations and report news events in an objective and comprehensive manner. Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), made the remarks in a meeting with a group of Taiwan media representatives led by Chiang Pin-kung, chairman of the island's Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF). Media organizations play an irreplaceable role in promoting information exchanges, helping people on both sides better understand each other and eliminating estrangement, Jia said. In light of the bright prospect of the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations, media exchanges between the two sides are facing unprecedented opportunities, he said. Jia called for an early establishment of resident media bureaus on both sides and closer cooperation between news organizations to promote traditional Chinese culture. He encouraged the staff of the media industry to seek common ground while shelving differences. On behalf of the SEF and the people in Taiwan, Chiang expressed gratitude for the mainland's donations and assistance after the island was hit by Typhoon Morakot in August. Mainland's donations, which were transferred to Taiwan mainly through the mainland-based Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS), will be used for reconstruction in Taiwan, Chiang said. Chiang also stressed the need for media at both sides to carry out further communication and cooperation. According to Jia, the ARATS and the SEF had initially agreed to have the fourth round of talks in Taiwan's Taichung in mid or late December.

"Our visit itself reflects the peaceful development in cross-Strait ties in the past year," said Liang when he met the Kuomintang (KMT) honorary chairman Wu Poh-hsiung Monday. Invited by the KMT central committee, Liang was the first CPC provincial committee chief to visit Taiwan. It indicated the expanding and deepening exchanges across the Taiwan Strait, said KMT Deputy Secretary-General Chang Jung-Kong. Taiwan had received and would witness a series of mainland delegations headed by senior officials at the provincial-level.

Beijing Vice Mayor Ji Lin, who led a group of more than 250 members, arrived the island the next day and took part in a symposium on science and technology. Xu Bodong, an expert on Taiwan affairs and also professor of the Beijing Union University, said the visit by the Jiangsu delegation was a continuity of trips made by Sichuan and Beijing.

Local CPC chiefs on the mainland, however, had for a long time mainly played the role as hosts to receive KMT guests from Taiwan after the positive changes took place in the island in May 2008. For example, Liang acted as a host to receive Lien Chan, Wu Poh-hsiung and Chiang Pin-kung for several times, according to Xu Bodong. "Now they finally came to the front of exchanges and dialogue," Xu said. As Liang Baohua put it, "Our visit is to implement the common prospects for peaceful cross-Straits development with pragmatic measures on behalf of a province." Following Liang's visit, Xu Guangchun, chief of CPC's Henan provincial committee, will also visit Taiwan next month at the invitation of the KMT central committee, according to the Henan provincial committee Tuesday. Wang Jianmin, a Taiwan affairs researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said "local CPC committees and government could make bigger stride in promoting economic, trade and cultural exchanges with a view to the new situation in cross-Strait relations." Exchanges and cooperation at the local level across the Strait would be institutionalized in the future and would bring greater benefits to people on both sides, Wang said.
