Asked about the decision later in the day, Taiwan’s Interior Minister, Lin Yu-chang, said that “equitable exchanges” between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are a “shared expectation and consensus” among the people of Taiwan. Lin stated that such exchanges should take place without pre-conditions or any type of political considerations to avoid suspicions about the motives.
