edit

Speaking in early February 2014 at a forum on economics and finance legislation, Chen said that negotiating with Mainland China to allow Mainland Chinese to transit stop in Taiwan heading to a third destination will be a very important issues on cross-strait transportation, especially after the establishment of three links in 2008 between the two sides. The current obstacle is that the Chinese mainland government requires their own people to have an entry permit to enter Taiwan, even for just a transfer.[6]
