Cheng Li-wun’s visit to China, expected to take place in April, would be the first by a sitting leader of Taiwan’s main opposition party in a decade.
The leader of Taiwan’s largest opposition party is set to visit China in April after accepting an invite from Chinese President Xi Jinping.
In a statement on Monday, Kuomintang (KMT) said its chairperson, Cheng Li-wun, was “grateful” for the invitation and had “gladly” accepted it.
Cheng “expressed hope that the two parties (the KMT and China’s Communist Party) would work together to promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, strengthen cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, secure peace in the Taiwan Strait, and enhance the well-being of the people,” her party said.
I would really love if China and Taiwan could coexist without hostilities.
Currently it is one of my main objections to the Chinese regime, that they persist with the 1 China policy as they do.
It’s one thing for China to welcome Taiwan back as part of mainland China, it’s another to threaten to force it with military force.
I have the deepest respect for both China and Taiwan for what they have accomplished. Now they need to accomplish mutual respect on both sides.
Also I don’t think Taiwan can count of USA to help them in case of a major conflict anymore. That ship sailed a decade ago, when Trump was elected the first time.
