In a surprise move, the head of Taiwan's ruling Kuomintang (KMT) party, Cheng Li-wun, has made history by meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The high-stakes encounter has sparked intense speculation about the potential implications for cross-strait relations and Taiwan's future. As the KMT party has traditionally been seen as more open to engagement with China, Cheng's meeting with Xi is being closely watched for signs of a possible shift in Taiwan's diplomatic strategy. Will this meeting mark a new era of cooperation between Taiwan and China, or is it a calculated move to appease Beijing?
