Kuomintang Chairperson Cheng Li-wun is living in the past, even though she believes that by engaging with the Chinese Communist Party on Beijing¡¯s terms she can secure a better future for Taiwan.
The leader of Taiwan¡¯s largest opposition party made history last week as the first KMT chairperson to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in a decade. ¡°It is my hope that, through the tireless efforts of our two parties, the Taiwan Strait will no longer be a focal point of potential conflict, nor become a chessboard for external interference,¡± Cheng said during her meeting with Xi in Beijing¡¯s Great Hall of the People.
¡°Today¡¯s world is far from tranquil, and peace is all the more precious. Compatriots on both sides of the Strait are all Chinese, members of one family,¡± Xi said.
