China’s President Xi Jinping met Taiwan’s opposition party leader Cheng Li-wun in Beijing on Friday (April 10, 2026), telling the visiting delegation he had “full confidence” that Taiwanese and Chinese people would be united.
Kuomintang (KMT) chairwoman Cheng is the party’s first leader to visit China in a decade, but her trip has sparked debate in Taiwan with critics accusing her of being too pro-Beijing.
