In response to MAC's refusal to lift the ban on group tours to mainland China, Democratic Progressive Party authorities deliberately confuse the audience and make excuses for refusing to lift the ban on group tours to mainland China, further exposing their confrontational nature of "independence", showing that they have no intention to promote cross-strait personnel exchanges and benefit the tourism industry and grassroots people in Taiwan Province, and arousing stronger dissatisfaction and opposition from the industry on the island and Taiwan Province compatriots. Adhering to the concept of "one family on both sides of the strait", we always respect, care for and benefit Taiwan Province compatriots, and always support the normalization of cross-strait personnel exchanges and cross-strait exchanges in various fields, including tourism. We warmly welcome Taiwan Province compatriots to visit the mainland for sightseeing, visiting relatives and friends, visiting and communicating, and studying and working.State Railway Administration: From January to November, the national railway passenger volume reached a record high, and the State Railway Administration announced that from January to November, the national railway passenger volume reached a record high.

Zhu Fenglian, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office, said: Democratic Progressive Party authorities' statement is totally confusing. The visiting delegation of teachers and students from mainland universities visited Taiwan for exchange, which was warmly welcomed and well-intentioned by the people of Taiwan Province, fully demonstrating that peace, development, exchange and cooperation are the mainstream public opinions on the island. We will continue to vigorously support and promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation in various fields to enhance the interests and well-being of people on both sides of the strait. At the same time, we resolutely oppose the "Taiwan independence" separatists' attempts to seek "independence" by linking with external forces and undermining cross-strait relations. Lai Qingde's wanderers visited the Pacific island countries and took the opportunity to "transit" the United States, peddled the "Taiwan independence" proposition under the guise of "democracy", misled the international audience, and attempted to "seek independence by relying on foreign countries" and "seek independence by force". We must counter and punish such provocations. It is hoped that the people of Taiwan Province will recognize the evil intention of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to stubbornly adhere to the "Taiwan independence" separatist stance, constantly provoke "independence" and raise the hostility between the two sides of the strait, recognize the serious harm of the "Taiwan independence" separatist, resolutely oppose the "Taiwan independence" separatist and foreign interference with us, and earnestly safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and their own security and well-being.

Goldman Sachs and Bank of America have their own opinions. Due to the rising cost of housing, insurance and medical services, the core inflation rate in the United States has remained high. Second-hand car prices may rise due to the rebound of auction prices, but economists are still divided on whether the increase in air ticket prices will become a reality. Goldman Sachs predicts that air ticket prices will increase by 1% month-on-month, reflecting a strong potential pricing trend. Bank of America, on the other hand, said, "We expect the air ticket price to drop by 1% month-on-month, which will change the contribution rate of core inflation from +3 basis points to -1 basis point. Due to the decline in air ticket prices, the monthly core inflation rate will drop to 0.2%, but the volatility of this category is still very large. "
