Young people in Chinese Mainland's Taiwan Province: "There are many opportunities here"

The Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council recently issued a so-called "investment reminder" warning Taiwanese businessmen that "investing in mainland China carries risks". Regarding this, on the 9th, the reference news reporter interviewed several Taiwanese youth who went to Xiamen to attend the 2024 Cross Strait Entrepreneurs Summit Annual Meeting, asking them to talk about their feelings about starting a business in mainland China.

Jian Mingwei, a native of Taipei, came to work in Beijing more than ten years ago and then moved to Nanjing four years ago. He is now the director of the Nanjing Yunjin Museum. He told reporters that according to his understanding, there are policies supporting Taiwanese youth entrepreneurship in various parts of mainland China, which is beneficial for their development in mainland China. Taking Nanjing as an example, there are ready to move in offices, "he encouraged young people on the island who want to start their own businesses to come to the mainland and take a look.

Gao Quan also encourages Taiwanese youth to explore the mainland. Gao Quan, born in Taipei and born in the 1980s, has been based in Shanghai since 2012. A few years ago, he participated in the establishment of Shanghai Quanmin Health Technology Co., Ltd. He is particularly grateful for the assistance provided by the Shanghai Taiwan Affairs Office during the company's certification process. He said, "This has made the application process much faster

It can be seen that the mainland is willing to build a platform for Taiwanese enterprises to seize the development opportunities of Chinese path to modernization.

In addition, Jian Mingwei expressed his views on the development of the mainland economy in response to the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council's widespread promotion of the phrase "the mainland economy continues to be sluggish" on the island. He emphasized, "The population base of the mainland is here, and the industrial and supply chains are mature. Even if there are problems with the global macro economy, (the mainland) still has a good domestic demand

He stated that the revenue of Nanjing Yunjin Museum has been continuously increasing over the past four years. During his keynote speech at the 2024 Cross Strait Entrepreneurs Summit Annual Meeting's Small and Medium sized Enterprise Cooperation and Youth Entrepreneurship Promotion Group Forum on the theme of "Colorful Youth Colors Across the Taiwan Strait," Jian Mingwei shared the story of the staff at Nanjing Yunjin Museum experiencing a significant increase in their salaries over the past few years. This demonstrates the excellent operational status of the museum and indirectly reflects the strong driving force and resilience of the mainland's economic development.

Ling Kaijun, President of Hainan Yingyi Biotechnology Group, is a second-generation Taiwanese businessman born in Taipei and raised in Shanghai. She said that the reason why she returned to Shanghai for employment after studying in the United States is precisely because she saw the vibrant economic development in mainland China.

Ling Kaijun did not deny the current global economic headwinds in an interview with reporters, but she pointed out that "there are still many industries with great potential". She said that there are many opportunities in mainland China, and Taiwanese youth can come and take a look first.

She said that Hainan Yingyi Biotechnology Group has received many resumes from doctors and nurses on the island this year, "which was not available a few years ago." The reason for this is that in Taiwan, except for highly qualified doctors, the salaries of other doctors and nurses are lower than those in mainland China, which has made them turn their attention to mainland China. On the same day, Ling Kaijun shared on the forum the idea that Taiwanese youth entrepreneurship in mainland China will promote cross-strait integration and development.

Gao Quan told reporters that under the influence of the overall environment, their company's development this year has faced significant challenges compared to the past, but he has always been confident in the economic development of mainland China. He believes that "after adjusting the pace, the company's development will be better".

The recently released "2024 Global Innovation Index Report" shows that mainland China is one of the economies with the fastest increase in innovation power in the past 10 years, and innovative development is showing strong momentum and broad prospects. I believe that with the continuous release of a package of incremental policies, the prospects for the development of the mainland economy will become brighter, providing stronger impetus for strengthening cross-strait economic cooperation and deepening integrated development, and opening up broader space for Taiwan compatriots and enterprises to root themselves in the mainland for development.
