Former Taiwanese president Ma Ying-jeou has become the first former president of Taiwan to visit China, in an effort to lower heightened political and military tensions between the democratic island and the Communist-run behemoth across the strait. The trip is a corrective to Tsai’s failing diplomatic strategy, said Hsiao Hsu-tsen, the head of Ma’s foundation. Since Tsai took office in 2016, the island democracy has lost nine diplomatic allies.
