Taiwan Affairs Office

The Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) is a government agency in China responsible for managing relations with Taiwan. It aims to promote communication and develop policies related to Taiwan, which China considers a part of its territory. The office handles a range of issues, including political dialogue, economic cooperation, and cultural exchanges. It plays a crucial role in shaping China's approach to Taiwan, particularly amid ongoing tensions and differing views on sovereignty. The TAO seeks peaceful unification while also addressing the complexities of cross-strait relations.
