"Xi's Historic Meeting with Former Taiwan President Signals Potential Thaw in Relations"

Chinese leader Xi Jinping met with former Taiwan president Ma Ying-jeou in Beijing, marking a rare meeting that underscores the historical ties between the two sides. The carefully orchestrated meeting is seen as an attempt by Beijing to exert pressure on Taiwan's incoming administration and highlight the shared cultural roots between the two regions. However, the meeting also reflects the widening political divide across the Taiwan Strait, as Beijing's aggressive posture has driven more Taiwanese away from China. The meeting's value lies primarily in its symbolism, as it is unlikely to result in substantial changes to the status quo in cross-strait relations.

Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou's 11-day visit to China comes amid heightened tensions between the two countries, with Beijing expressing disapproval of Taiwan's next president, Lai Ching-te. Ma's favorable stance towards closer ties with China contrasts with Lai's rejection of Beijing's claim that Taiwan is part of China. The warm reception of Ma by Chinese officials is seen as a message that Beijing remains open to politicians who support closer ties and accept its conditions for talks, while also signaling a firm approach towards Taiwan.

Taiwan's former president, Ma Ying-jeou, has visited China, the first by a current or former Taiwanese president since 1949, calling for people on both sides of the Taiwan strait to work together for peace.

Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou visits China's historic sites.

Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou began a 12-day tour of China with a visit to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, paying tribute to the founder of the Republic of China and the Nationalist Party. Ma's tour comes as tensions between Taiwan and China rise, aggravated by an antagonistic U.S.-China relationship. Taiwan is a self-governed democracy and the U.S. is its largest unofficial ally, while China claims the island as its own. Ma has framed the trip as an effort to lower tensions by promoting exchanges, bringing Taiwanese college students with him on the visit, and has said he hopes that his trip could help lower tensions.

Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou's Visit to China Raises Questions about Cross-Strait Relations.

Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou has said that people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are ethnically Chinese and share the same ancestor, during his historic visit to China. Ma's visit is part of outreach by Taiwan's main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), to China in hopes of reducing tensions. Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party has criticised the visit, questioning why he is visiting just after China took away another Taiwanese diplomatic ally, Honduras, on Sunday, leaving the island with official diplomatic ties with only 13 countries.

Former Taiwan and Singapore leaders make historic visits to China.

Former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou has become the first sitting or former Taiwanese leader to visit mainland China since the Communist revolution in 1949. The visit has been criticised by Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of Ma's successor, Tsai Ing-wen. Ma's office said he was met at Shanghai's Pudong International Airport on Monday by officials who included Chen Yuanfeng, deputy head of China's Taiwan Affairs Office. Ma made the trip at a time of heightened tensions between Beijing and Taipei as China keeps up military and political pressure on Taiwan to try to get the democratic island to accept Chinese sovereignty.

Former Taiwan President Ma visits China amidst controversy.

Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou has departed for a tour of China with a delegation of academics and college students for exchanges, as well as members of his family, in what he called an attempt to reduce tensions a day after Taiwan lost one of its few remaining diplomatic partners to China. Ma's policies brought Taiwan and Beijing to their closest relationship ever, but his exit from office was overshadowed by massive protests against a trade deal with the mainland and his successor has focused on bolstering ties with the U.S. and defending the autonomy of the democratically governed island that China claims as part of its own territory.

Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou visits China amidst controversy.

Former Taiwanese president Ma Ying-jeou has become the first former president of Taiwan to visit China, in an effort to lower heightened political and military tensions between the democratic island and the Communist-run behemoth across the strait. The trip is a corrective to Tsai’s failing diplomatic strategy, said Hsiao Hsu-tsen, the head of Ma’s foundation. Since Tsai took office in 2016, the island democracy has lost nine diplomatic allies.
