Cheng Li-wun, chairperson of Taiwan's Kuomintang party, is visiting China to promote cross-strait peace. She emphasizes the need for goodwill and mutual trust. Cheng's visit is significant as it is the first by a Taiwanese opposition leader in a decade. Critics view her support for closer ties with China as controversial, especially given China's claims over Taiwan. Cheng's trip coincides with heightened tensions and stalled defense budget discussions in Taiwan, as well as an upcoming meeting between Xi and US President Trump.
