The coastal city of Xiamen in Fujian province - the nearest mainland city to Taiwan - is taking the lead in offering favorable policies to improve the lives of Taiwan residents who work or run businesses on the mainland.

By the end of last year, 120,000 Taiwan residents, including 2,400 students, were living in Xiamen, and 195 were recognized as high-end talents by the city, according to the local government.
