Taiwan - China direct air flight proposal

The Chinese and Taiwanese authorities are negotiating on the China - Waiwan direct air flight issues. Repersentatives from Taiwan stated that Kaohsuing would be the 1st Taiwanese city allowed to operate direct flights to China, followed by Taipei. They said such flights should be regarded as international flights, and Taiwan should not be regarded as a Chinese province.

This is totally different from what said by Chinese representatives. They said Taiwan is a Chinese province, so such flights should be regarded as domestic flights.

If Taiwan - China direct air flights become true, then many passengers would switch from flights connecting via 3rd countries like Hong Kong, Macau and Korea, to direct flights, because of much reduced flight time and cost. Air Macau, whose core business is the Taiwan - Macau - China routes, would have its income much reduced in long run.
