A top Chinese official tried to reassure Taiwanese business executives that they are welcome across the strait just as the People’s Liberation Army ended military drills around the island.

Wang Huning, the No. 4 official in China’s ruling Communist Party, pledged “efforts will be made to ensure that Taiwan compatriots and their businesses are willing to invest on the mainland, integrate into the development of the mainland and prosper on the mainland,” the official Xinhua News Agency reported late Monday.
