A reporter asked: It is understood that the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has always attached great importance to the coordination and resolution of Taiwan-related investment disputes.

Chen Binhua, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that we have always attached great importance to the protection of the rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots, protected the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots in accordance with the law, and improved systems and policies to enhance the well-being of Taiwan compatriots. All regions and departments strive to do practical things, do good things, and solve problems for Taiwan compatriots. Actively introduce relevant laws, regulations and policies, and establish and improve the institutional system for the protection of the rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots. The country has successively promulgated the "Investment Protection Law for Taiwan Compatriots" and its implementation details, and various localities have successively formulated investment protection regulations for Taiwan compatriots or implemented measures to implement the "Insurance Law", effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots.
Over the years, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council have actively promoted the legalization process of protecting the rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots, and promoted relevant departments to take many measures in legislation, law enforcement, judicial and other aspects, and their work has been fruitful. Prominent manifestations include: the legislative system for the protection of the rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots has been continuously improved, forming a legal normative system led by the Anti-Secession Law, with the Insurance Law and its Implementation Rules as the main body, and composed of relevant laws, administrative regulations, local regulations, normative documents, judicial interpretations and the two sessions agreement; the law enforcement mechanism for the protection of the rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots has been continuously improved, and a complaint coordination working mechanism that takes into account both sides of the Taiwan Strait has been basically established; the judicial mechanism for the protection of the rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots has been basically established The system has been continuously innovated, and a diversified dispute resolution mechanism that organically combines arbitration, mediation, and judicial trials has been basically established; legal service methods for the protection of the rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots have been continuously enriched, and businesses involving Taiwan-related lawyers, notarization, mediation, assistance, consultation, publicity, training, etc. have been widely carried out to provide thoughtful services for Taiwan compatriots to "settlement disputes and resolve disputes", so that Taiwan compatriots can feel fairness and justice around them and in individual cases, feel the good business environment, and feel the achievements of comprehensive rule of law.
The Taiwan Affairs Office system across the country has always attached great importance to the protection of the rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council formally established the Complaints Coordination Bureau in 2005, and local Taiwan Affairs Offices at all levels have also established complaint coordination offices or service centers for Taiwan compatriots. This move aroused a strong response from Taiwan compatriots and Taiwanese businessmen at the time, praising "the establishment of a dedicated agency for the protection of the rights and interests of Taiwanese businessmen, which is unique in the world and shows that the mainland attaches great importance to Taiwanese businessmen." This mechanism has been operating effectively in accordance with laws and regulations. In addition, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council has also established a working platform for the protection of the rights and interests of Taiwanese businessmen with the Kuomintang Mainland Taiwan Business Service Liaison Center and assisted in the resolution of relevant disputes. Many Taiwanese businessmen who received assistance expressed their gratitude to our office in various ways.
Chen Binhua pointed out that everyone is equal before the law and no one has any privileges beyond the law. What we protect in accordance with the law are the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots. We hope that the vast number of Taiwan compatriots and Taiwanese companies operating in the mainland will abide by the law, operate legally, and safeguard their rights and interests in accordance with laws and regulations.
