Revision History

KMT Chairperson Cheng Li-wun met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on April 10, 2026 — the first meeting between the heads of the CCP and KMT in nearly a decade — calling for "reconciliation" while the ruling DPP accused her of undermining national security during a critical defense spending standoff. The meeting, which comes weeks before a planned Trump-Xi summit in May, has sharpened fault lines over Taiwan's defense posture, its shifting economic ties with China, and the legal and political boundaries of opposition engagement with Beijing.
