There are signs of a thaw in the years-long tussle between China and Taiwan over tourism.
00:05
China banned its citizens from leisure travel to Taiwan in two stages from 2019 to 2020,
00:11
and that ban still stands.
00:13
Taiwan hit back this year, banning its citizens from group tourism to China.
00:18
But both sides show signs of wanting to break the ice.
00:21
In late September, China announced a limited first step, letting residents of its coastal
00:25
Fujian province visit a handful of nearby Taiwan-governed islands, Mazu and Jinmen.
00:31
But there's still deadlock over the next step, and who should be the one to make it.
00:36
China says it's up to Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party, or DPP.
00:55
But officials in Taiwan say the overall balance of tourism is still in China's favor, and
01:06
say it's up to China to end the impasse.
01:29
It's difficult to say whether this is a false start, or a genuine sign of a breakthrough
01:33
in the works.
