Taiwan 's Mainland Affairs Council said it welcomes Chinese tourists after Beijing announced it would resume some group tours to the island in the near future.

The clip of Chiu Chui-cheng , head of Taiwan 's top China policy body, was shared on Weibo on December 30, 2024 .

While Taiwan calls itself a sovereign nation, China claims the island and has threatened to use force to bring it under its control.
