As Chinese Senior official Chen Yunlin, the head of the Chinese government's department in charge of Taiwan affairs wraps up his five day tour in Taiwan to meet with officials in Taiwan Chen Declared the visit to be successful and that they have accomplished what was set out to do.
"Chen signed a landmark trade deal expanding aviation and shipping links across the Taiwan Strait, agreed to exchange rare animals with Taiwan and to work on measures designed to boost co-operation on food safety issues."
This was the first of such meeting in the last six decades, due to political differences. Though both sides agree that this was a successful talk, they also know that this is only the beginning of a long and difficult road, for break-throughs between Taiwan- China relations.
This meeting did not go with out resistance, the Taiwanese protesters gathered and shouted pro-Independence slogans with anti-China banners.

I think this is great news for both sides. Although there are still unneglectable differences between the two economies but compromising for better outcomes while not interfering politically is a nice thing.
Yes, I think its a good step better than Taiwan ignoring China, but often neogaciations like this could also effect the greater environment for an example Hong Kong would have something to lose in freer trade between Taiwan and China. In the past year if any products or materials that was going into China from Taiwan had to go through Hong Kong, which boosted Hong Kong's industries using it as a portal to China for Taiwannese businesses, but once Taiwan and China can have direct trade Hong Kong might be cut out of this loop.
