New rules to lift Taiwan advertising ban

A package of amendments to the law governing relations with the mainland was submitted to the Taiwan legislature in August. The proposed changes include lifting the ban on advertising mainland products in Taiwan and allowing business visits by mainland Chinese employed by multinational corporations. Announcing the package, Tsai Ing-wen, chairwoman of the Mainland Affairs Council, said that her council was preparing additional amendments that would authorise private-sector negotiations on direct links in transport, communications and commercial relations.
