CCTV.com News: A reporter asked, on March 20, the State Entry and Exit Administration issued an announcement to launch two convenient policies: the "double certificate association" verification service for Taiwanese compatriots' certificate and Taiwan resident residence permit, and to issue electronic temporary passes for Taiwanese compatriots who have lost their Taiwanese compatriots' certificate and urgently need to take the bus. What are your comments on this? Chen Binhua, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in response to an inquiry that over the years, the entry and exit management departments of the public security organs have launched a series of policy measures to facilitate the customs clearance of Taiwanese compatriots and the convenient application of entry and exit documents, and strive to create a better development environment for Taiwanese compatriots in the mainland. The two policy measures issued on March 20 will further facilitate Taiwanese compatriots to study, start businesses, find employment and live in mainland China. For a long time, the entry and exit management departments of the public security organs have always attached great importance to and protected information security in accordance with the law. Both services must be voluntarily initiated and applied by certified Taiwanese compatriots themselves and can only be provided after passing real-name and real-person certification.
Recently, the DPP authorities have been confusing the public, attempting to confuse the Taiwanese resident residence permit and mainland resident ID cards to mislead and intimidate Taiwanese people. We solemnly state that the Taiwan resident residence permit and the mainland resident ID card are two documents of completely different natures. The Taiwan resident residence permit is a document that proves the identity of Taiwan compatriots in order to meet the needs of study, entrepreneurship, employment and living in the mainland. Taiwanese compatriots do not need to have a mainland household registration to apply for a Taiwan resident residence permit, nor do they need to give up their Taiwan household registration. The relevant rights and obligations enjoyed in Taiwan should not be affected.
Since the launch of the Taiwan Residence Permit, it has been widely welcomed by Taiwanese compatriots, and certified Taiwanese compatriots have been greatly facilitated in studying, starting businesses, employment, and living in the mainland. All relevant departments in mainland China have always strictly protected the personal information of Taiwanese compatriots in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, so that Taiwanese compatriots can use it with confidence.
