Yu Zhengsheng
The seventh 7-day Straits Forum was held on 14–20 June 2015 in Xiamen, Fujian. The theme of the forum is "Focusing on Youth and Serving the Community". During the forum, the Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Yu Zhengsheng made an announcement to exempt Taiwanese from obtaining the travel permit in the future whenever they want to visit Mainland China. The booklet-format travel permit will be changed to a card, resembling much like the Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents. This is done to facilitate travel between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. The policy was to go into effect by 1 July 2015.
