In order to thoroughly implement the major strategic deployment of "gradually providing Taiwan compatriots with the same treatment as mainland compatriots for study, entrepreneurship, employment and life in the mainland" established at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, strive to promote the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland, and comprehensively implement the Several Measures on Promoting Cross Strait Economic and Cultural Exchange and Cooperation issued by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council and the National Development and Reform Commission (referred to as "Several Measures"). In accordance with the requirements of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the People's Republic of China that Shanghai should "build good policy model rooms and demonstration fields, and give play to the demonstration and leading effect in the country", the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the Shanghai Municipal Government have studied and decided that the Implementation Measures on Promoting Economic and Cultural Exchange and Cooperation between Shanghai and Taiwan (hereinafter referred to as "Implementation Measures") will be officially implemented on June 1, 2018.

Shanghai is one of the key areas for economic, trade and cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, and also an important gathering place for Taiwan compatriots to invest and live. So far, Shanghai has approved 12488 Taiwan invested enterprises, accounting for 13.57% of the total number of foreign-funded projects; Attract contract investment of 39.5 billion US dollars. Shanghai has always been at the forefront in helping Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises develop. The first local regulation in the mainland that reflects the benefits of Taiwan compatriots' investment rights and interests was officially implemented on November 1, 2015.

There are 55 measures for the implementation of the Measures, of which 28 are related to efforts to give Taiwan funded enterprises the same treatment as local enterprises in the field of investment and economic cooperation in Shanghai, and 27 are related to gradually providing Taiwan compatriots with the same treatment as mainland compatriots for their study, entrepreneurship, employment and life in Shanghai. Of the 55 articles in the Implementation Measures, 31 are completely corresponding to the Measures, and the remaining 24 reflect Shanghai's characteristics and innovation. Fifteen of these are measures to open Shanghai's public policy to Taiwan compatriots; The other nine are measures that conform to the spirit of the Central Committee and reflect Shanghai's independent innovation and breakthrough.

To sum up, it has the following characteristics:

   First, we will provide equal treatment to Taiwan compatriots and enterprises. On the premise of complying with national and local laws and regulations, Shanghai strives to release more policy dividends, so that the majority of Taiwan based enterprises in Shanghai and Taiwan can enjoy equal treatment in more areas. In the Implementation Measures, there are 15 measures for Shanghai to open its public policy to Taiwan compatriots. Including: support Taiwan enterprises to set up headquarters, financial institutions, operation centers, procurement centers, and logistics centers in Shanghai; Support Taiwan enterprises to participate in the exhibition, sales and procurement of China International Import Expo; Support the policy financing guarantee fund for small, medium-sized and micro enterprises in Shanghai to cooperate with financial institutions in the city to expand financing guarantee services for Taiwan enterprises and Taiwan compatriots; Support Taiwan professional and technical personnel to work in Shanghai, and enjoy the same treatment as residents of this city.

   The second is to solve the problems concerned by Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan enterprises. According to the important deployment of the municipal party committee's research, on the basis of comprehensively understanding the "most desired" and "most worried" problems of Taiwan enterprises and Taiwan compatriots in Shanghai and Taiwan, we studied and introduced more targeted and effective measures to benefit Taiwan. Including: optimizing the approval procedures for industrial and commercial registration of Taiwan enterprises; Support professional and technical personnel from Taiwan to work in Shanghai for professional title assessment; Support Taiwanese youth to come to Shanghai for innovation, entrepreneurship and employment, provide internships and employment posts, and provide rent subsidies for initial entrepreneurial sites and discount interest on entrepreneurial guaranteed loans according to regulations; We support three pilot projects, including the establishment of representative offices by Taiwan law firms in this city, the association of Taiwan law firms with mainland law firms in this city, and the employment of Taiwan practicing lawyers as legal advisers by mainland law firms in this city.

   Third, promote Taiwan funded enterprises to participate in and accelerate the construction of the "five centers" of Shanghai's international economy, finance, trade, shipping and scientific and technological innovation and the four major brands of "Shanghai service, Shanghai manufacturing, Shanghai shopping and Shanghai culture". In accordance with the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping to be a pioneer in reform and opening up and a pioneer in innovation and development, Shanghai has carried out a series of pioneering attempts in the construction of the "five centers". In the Implementation Measures, there are many measures, especially the measures for the opening of Shanghai's public policy to Taiwan compatriots, which involve giving equal treatment to Taiwan funded enterprises in terms of financial support, scientific and technological innovation support, R&D investment, intellectual property protection, etc., and explicitly promoting Taiwan funded enterprises to participate in the construction of Shanghai's "Five Centers" for the first time. These show that Shanghai welcomes Taiwan compatriots and enterprises to work together to build Shanghai into an outstanding global city and a modern socialist metropolis, and share the positive attitude of Shanghai's economic and social development achievements. With the formal implementation of the Implementation Measures, more and better Taiwan funded enterprises will surely join the fast track of Shanghai's development, grow together with Shanghai, and contribute to the construction of Shanghai's "five centers".

   Fourth, innovate service means. The Implementation Measures fully reflect the new service measures taken by Shanghai to enable Taiwanese enterprises to better live, work and develop in Shanghai, especially the new measures that reflect Shanghai's independent innovation to serve Taiwanese enterprises. Starting from innovation and entrepreneurship support, public rental housing, Taiwan related mediation, Taiwan related arbitration, legal services, emergency relief and other aspects that were urgently needed by Taiwanese people in the past, we took the lead in carrying out pilot exploration and tried to provide more convenient measures for Taiwanese people on the premise of meeting the spirit of the Central Committee and the characteristics of Shanghai.

  Fifth, we should pay close attention to the implementation of responsibilities. In order to ensure the effective implementation of the Implementation Measures, each of the specific measures in the Implementation Measures has identified the relevant responsible subjects to ensure that the policies that benefit Taiwan enterprises and Taiwan compatriots are truly implemented.

The introduction of these measures will bring huge opportunities and real sense of gain to Taiwan funded enterprises in Shanghai and Taiwan compatriots. Shanghai will continue to adhere to the concept of "one family on both sides of the Straits", work with the Municipal Development and Reform Commission and other relevant departments to strengthen the implementation of policies, evaluate the implementation effect, study and formulate more policy measures as needed, expand and deepen the economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation between Shanghai and Taiwan, and constantly enhance the kinship and well-being of people on both sides of the Straits.
