The "three links" between the two sides of the Taiwan Province Strait refer to two-way direct postal services, trade and navigation, not partial or indirect "three links".

For more than 30 years after 1949, due to the military confrontation between the two sides of the strait, personnel exchanges, postal services, navigation and trade between the two sides of the strait were all interrupted, and compatriots on both sides of the strait were isolated. 1979 On New Year's Day, the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) published a Letter to Compatriots in Taiwan Province Province, advocating "postal and shipping services as soon as possible" and "developing trade, exchanging needed goods and developing economic exchanges" for the convenience of compatriots on both sides of the strait. Since then, the mainland has made unremitting efforts to realize the "three links" between the two sides of the strait (postal services, navigation and trade). 1987165438+10 In October, the Taiwan Province provincial authorities decided to open Taiwan Province compatriots to visit relatives in the mainland, which was welcomed by the mainland, and the isolation of compatriots on both sides of the strait for 38 years was finally broken. Since then, cross-strait personnel exchanges and economic and cultural exchanges have promoted the "three links" process. However, due to political turmoil and artificial obstruction, the cross-strait "three links" road has gone quite smoothly.

The realization of the "three links" between the two sides of the strait marks significant progress in cross-strait relations, and personnel exchanges and cooperation between the two sides of the strait will take on a new look from now on: first, it will make cross-strait exchanges more convenient and deepen understanding; Second, cross-strait exchanges will expand and interactions will be more frequent; Third, it will make cross-strait economic cooperation closer, reduce cross-strait operating costs, enhance cross-strait economic competitiveness and promote cross-strait economic development; The fourth is to add new impetus to the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, enhance the common well-being of compatriots on both sides of the strait, expand the common interests of people on both sides of the strait, and strengthen the good momentum of cross-strait relations.
