China-Taiwan tensions: Xi Jinping says nobody can stop 'family reunion' with Taiwan | Oneindia

Chinese President Xi Jinping conveyed to former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou on Wednesday that external interference would not impede the "family reunion" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. He emphasised that all issues are open for discussion. Since the Republic of China government retreated to Taiwan in 1949 following a civil war loss to Mao Zedong's communists, no sitting Taiwanese leader has visited China. However, Ma, who served as president from 2008 to 2016, broke this pattern last year, marking the first visit by a former Taiwanese leader to China. This visit, Ma's second, occurs amid heightened military tensions in the region. #China #Taiwan #XiJinping #MaYingjeou #Tensions #FamilyReunion #CrossStraitRelations #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #EastAsia ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.101~
