    In the statement, China said it plans to resume direct flights between Taiwan and mainland cities like Xi’an or Urumqi, although it remained unclear how the measures will be implemented without the approval of the Taiwanese government.

    So the shadow government is making announcements it has no ability to follow up?

    China also said it would work toward construction of a bridge that would connect the mainland to Matsu and Kinmen, Taiwanese islands that are closer geographically to China.

    I can't see any way Taiwanese government would allow this. Is China planning on pulling a Russian special, declare KMT the official provincial party leader and forcing an invasion to "defend" it from "rebel" forces?
