I don't have any expertise in this topic, but I do have an anecdote from a Taiwan friend who works and lives in Macao. He told me that traveling between Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and "mainland" China is easy for him because the Chinese government considers them to all be part of the same China. Traveling outside of those places involves more paperwork.

Traveling outside of those places don't involves more paperwork for the Taiwanese. They can visit many European countries, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, NZ and Canada without visas. Taiwanese youths can get working holiday visas to goto Australia, NZ Canada, Europe, Japan and South Korea.

Mainland Chinese seem to visit HK, Macau, Japan and South Korea a lot more than Taiwan because of the shopping and casinos.

Taiwanese pretty much go to mainland China for work or business - few "immigrate" there.

China made it hard, NOT Taiwan. They wanted to squeez Tsai´s new DPP government and cut the tourist industry, but the New Southbound Policy pretty much counteracted any effect that the "boycott" had on Taiwanese tourist revenues. Nice try though.

Not to mention how insignificant the sector of tourism is in Taiwan. It's not Greece. The outbound tourism is far larger than inbound tourism.

Peacefully stable. Especially when remembering their own past relations. There are rules for what they have to follow. Encompassing force of organized tour groups, and not only solo. Can't enter alone. When leaving this exact barrier, much less complicated. Simple.

Official Evidence Of Absolutely Always Accurate Order:
https://time.com/5639832/china-bans-...iwan-tourists/
"According to a statement Wednesday from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism,
and means that Chinese nationals can only travel to Taiwan as tourists if they're part of tour groups.
The scheme had been in place since 2011 under the more China-friendly administration of former President Ma Ying-jeou."

Before 2011, looks like average nationals have been able to enter on their own. From China To Taiwan.
