Hundreds of Microsoft employees from China will attend a meeting in Taiwan later this month as local authorities prepare to allow in more Chinese visitors for business purposes.

"A total of 419 Microsoft Chinese employees will come here to attend its annual conference for the Greater China Area," said an official with Taiwan's China policy decision-making body, the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Wednesday.

If realized, the group would become the single biggest Chinese group to travel to Taiwan, which is still technically at war with rival China.

MAC Chairman Joseph Wu told reporters Tuesday that the council is reviewing existing measures governing Taiwanese visits by Chinese visitors for business purposes, which limit each group to up to 30 people.
