China Pivot: Beijing Unveils Economic Incentives for Taiwan After KMT Visit

Following a visit to Beijing by Taiwanese opposition leader Chang Li, the Chinese government announced new political and economic incentives for Taiwan on May 13, 2026. The measures include the resumption of direct cross-strait flights, easing of tourism restrictions, and broader access for Taiwanese media in mainland China. Analysts suggest this represents a strategic shift toward non-military coercion and political influence as China monitors US military overextension in the Middle East and Ukraine conflicts.
