Three links
The three links are direct postal, telephone, and airline links between Mainland China and Taiwan. Since 1949, all such contact has been routed through Hong Kong.
The three little links are postal, telephone, and transportation links between Fujian province and the islands of Quemoy and Matsu. Activity via the "mini links" has grown rapidly since they were created in 2001, but it remains a small part of overall trade. In early 2003, the Republic of China government permitted its air carriers to ferry Chinese New Year passengers back and forth across the Strait by way of "indirect charter flights" that touched down briefly in Hong Kong or Macau. The ROC and People's Republic of China did not repeat the charter flights during the 2004 Chinese New Year, in part because the two sides could not agree on the terms for meetings to discuss how PRC carriers might also participate.
