Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated Beijing's commitment to cross-strait unity during a high-profile meeting with Cheng Li-wun, chairwoman of the Chinese Kuomintang, in Beijing on Friday. The discussion comes amid evolving regional dynamics as both sides navigate complex geopolitical currents.
Xi, who also serves as general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized that the fundamental direction of cross-strait relations remains unchanged. "The historical momentum toward national rejuvenation and the natural affinity between compatriots across the strait cannot be altered by temporary circumstances," he stated during the closed-door meeting.
The dialogue marks continued communication between political parties across the Taiwan Strait, following recent economic cooperation agreements. Analysts suggest such exchanges aim to maintain stability in cross-strait ties while advancing shared development goals.
