The Xinjiang Provincial Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, a United Front organization based in Urumqi, recently advertised a nine-day tour to Xinjiang on Taiwan’s PTT Bulletin Board discussion forum, calling for participants aged 16-40.
When Radio Free Asia contacted the organizers, they said participants would only need to pay NT$24,800 (US$755) per person, with “tour fees, transportation, accommodation and insurance all covered by the Chinese hosts.”
