China has announced that it will resume imports of Taiwan's pomelos from certified orchards. China suspended imports of the citrus fruit in August 2022, citing pest concerns. But the move was widely interpreted as a response to then-U.S. House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. The announcement follows the reopening of tourism to Taiwan's Kinmen Islands from China's Fujian Province.
