Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou's Visit to China Raises Questions about Cross-Strait Relations.
TL;DR
Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou has said that people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are ethnically Chinese and share the same ancestor, during his historic visit to China. Ma's visit is part of outreach by Taiwan's main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), to China in hopes of reducing tensions. Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party has criticised the visit, questioning why he is visiting just after China took away another Taiwanese diplomatic ally, Honduras, on Sunday, leaving the island with official diplomatic ties with only 13 countries.
