Cross-strait ties: Chair of KMT leads delegation on mainland visit

For the first time in 10 years, leaders of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese Kuomintang Party, or KMT, have met in Beijing. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said the meeting is of great significance for developing relations between the two parties and across the Taiwan Strait. Cheng Li-wun, Chairwoman of the KMT, presented the dialogue as a historical responsibility to avoid war and to ensure cross-Strait peace. So what's behind the historical meeting between the two parties? How will it contribute to peace and stability in the region? And what does this visit really signal - for cross-Strait relations, for Taiwan's internal politics, and for the future of exchanges across the Strait?
