Taiwan opposition leader visits China for talks with Xi Jinping

The leader of Taiwan's main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), has traveled to China for a visit described as a 'Journey of Peace.' The trip is expected to include a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Analysts in China have said the invitation signals that dialogue remains open to political forces in Taiwan that oppose formal independence. The visit is a rare high-level contact between a Taiwanese political figure and China's leadership.
