STORYLINE:
A visiting Chinese official urged Taiwan on Tuesday to allow Chinese news outlets to set up permanent bureaus on the island, saying it is essential for improving understanding and furthering already warming ties.
Closer news exchanges would "allow us to catch up with the big exchange, big cooperation" already under way in trade, tourism and other areas, said Yang Yi, spokesman of China's Taiwan Affairs Office, who led a delegation of Chinese media representatives.
Any proposal in Taiwan to let Chinese state media set up bureaus on the island, however, would likely raise fears of spying.
Taiwan has also complained that Taiwanese are frequently misrepresented in the Chinese media.
Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949, but China still claims the island as part of its own territory.
Relations have improved dramatically since Ma Ying-jeou became Taiwanese president 14 months ago on a platform of easing hostilities with China and pushing for cultural and business ties.
Currently, each government allows journalists from the other side to report in its territory for up to six months at a time, but they are not allowed to set up permanent offices.
This is the first time China has sent such a group to Taiwan to ask for deeper media ties.
Kao Koong-liang, vice chairman of the semiofficial Straits Exchange Foundation that handles exchanges with the mainland, said Taiwanese authorities are already drawing up cooperation plans.
He said Taiwan hopes the two sides can grant television channels broadcast rights and newspapers licenses to
publish in the other side's territory.
"We also hope journalists will be given more reporting freedom," Kao told the Chinese delegation.
While news in China is strictly controlled by the government, Taiwan enjoys one of Asia's most freewheeling media environments.
