Mainland urges Taiwan's DPP authorities to remove barriers to resuming direct flights

BEIJING, April 15 (Xinhua) -- The mainland has no restrictions on the full resumption of direct flights across the Taiwan Strait, and Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities should remove their unreasonable barriers to cross-Strait flights, a spokesperson said Wednesday.

Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a press conference that the obstacles to resuming flights are entirely due to the DPP authorities.
