In this regard, there are rumors because the“Memorandum of Cooperation”(MOU) did not negotiate, but also said that because the DPP authorities in the technical blocking. Does the spokesman understand the specific reasons? Does China still support cross-strait dialogue and exchanges?

We have always actively supported and promoted cross-strait exchanges, including exchanges in the cities you mentioned.
