China resumes Taiwan pomelo imports, allows tourist travel to Kinmen

BEIJING -- China resumed imports of Taiwanese pomelos on Monday, days after announcing plans to allow Fujian residents to travel to the nearby Taiwan-administered Kinmen Island.

China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism had announced Friday the lifting of the travel restriction, citing the request of a Kinmen delegation. The delegation, which included Taiwanese opposition Kuomintang lawmaker Chen Yu-jen, had met with Song Tao, director of China's Taiwan Affairs Office, in Beijing on Aug. 22.
