Support expressed

A Chinese mainland spokeswoman on Friday expressed support after the Ministry of Commerce announced recently that it would study the suspension or partial suspension of tariff preferences for Taiwan products under the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement. Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, said the preliminary findings of the ministry's investigation into trade barriers with Taiwan indicate that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities unilaterally restrict the import of a large number of mainland products.
