"Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou's Historic Meeting: A Step Towards Resolving Taiwan-China Differences"
TL;DR
Former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou believes that Taiwan and China can peacefully resolve their differences, emphasizing their shared culture and history. His recent meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping aimed to promote understanding between the two sides, with Ma urging young Taiwanese to recognize the historical and cultural links with China. However, China considers Taiwan its own territory and has increased pressure to assert its claims, while Taiwan's government rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims and insists that only the Taiwanese people can decide their future.
