Xi Extends Peace Outreach to Taiwan Opposition Ahead of Trump Summit

As Xi Jinping prepares for a summit with President Trump, he invites Cheng Li-wun, chair of Taiwan’s main opposition Nationalist Party, for a rare visit to China to promote a peace message and show Beijing’s willingness to engage with Taipei’s pro-Beijing voices. The move is meant to shape public diplomacy and potentially influence U.S. arms policy, even as Taiwan’s government and some party members caution against relying on Beijing’s goodwill or undermining defense readiness.
