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.

    If you read US statements and policy they generally seem like good / competent people in government as well. I swear it’s almost like people lie about themselves and try to inflate their public Image.

    I’d suggest relying more on what their neighbors and the people that have to deal with them on a daily basis think of them. You know like the ones in the South China sea that are being bullied by the Chinese government. Or the ones in Taiwan watching as China threateningly postures and parades military around them. Or the ones in Hong Kong that are being jailed, imprisoned, and repressed. Or the ones in Tibet. Or the ones in Xinjiang that are having their lands taken and culture erased. Oops but I forgot, all critique of the Chinese government is a CIA psyop. They are perfect, blameless, never over reacted or responded poorly. It’s always everyone else’s fault. Totally believable.
