Jia Qinglin, the fourth-ranking leader in China's political hierarchy, made the vow during an economic forum in Shanghai between the two sides, Xinhua news agency said. "If the world economic situation continues to worsen and the Taiwan side asks for help in resolving economic difficulties, the mainland is willing to do its utmost to offer assistance," Jia was quoted as telling the gathering. "We should get through the difficulties hand in hand." Jia's offer comes after the two sides last week inaugurated direct daily flights and postal and shipping services in a historic move hailed by both sides as cementing a new era in warming ties. Relations have improved rapidly since the election in March of Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou, who has promised closer ties. His election ended eight years of rule by Chen Shui-bian, whose independence rhetoric inflamed China. Airlines from the two sides will fly more than 100 flights a week under the transportation arrangement launched Monday, linking four Taiwanese and 12 Chinese cities. Meanwhile, ships have begun sailing directly across the 160-kilometre (100-mile) Taiwan Strait and post was sent directly for the first time. Previously, planes usually had to fly through Hong Kong or Macau airspace, while cargo ships generally detoured through Japanese waters. Direct transport was suspended after the two sides split in 1949 following a civil war. China still regards Taiwan as a renegade province that must eventually come back into Beijing's political fold, by force if necessary, although Ma's election has cooled the atmosphere dramatically. Chen, who has since been indicted for corruption, had refused the transport links, wary of getting too close to China. But following Ma's election, top officials from both sides met in Beijing in June for the first direct dialogue between the two parties in 10 years and paving the way for a flurry of steps drawing the two sides closer together.
